I think I will call this Raptor in Red, c/c please?

Question

Shimmy, sparkle, Ruby Byrd,
Throw them flocks a feather.
Feed your nestlings strings of worms;
Phallic father-figures strung together.
Make a monster in the bottles
Tipped over on tables.
Pretty is but never really was
Useful for shoveling out stables.
Oh, and it gets so very deep-
Way up over your bootstraps;
Recovery just a step away,
You turn and run to relapse.
Picture pin-up, cushioned pink,
Jewelry bought by strangers
May have bought the big new house,
But you left the kids in danger.
Uncles have that waxed-out look
When they come from your bedroom;
They never managed to detect the stench
That you covered with your perfume.
Fly on wings of doubt and curse
And swift drafts of inebriation,
Shove the flightless from your nest
Claiming no relation.
Birds of a fracture fail to figure
Morality into the equation;
It is a formula that sums up
Quantum perpetration.
Laugh in low seductive tones,
Long into the nighttime.
The secrets written on your sheets
Are with your spawn for a lifetime.
I was a shiny bright light hope
Until your son lit upon me;
Obliterated my innocence,
Streaming dreams behind me.
Disgraced not by the physical acts,
Rather by conspiracy to hide them,
A future of limitless 'what I will grow up to be's
All had self-destruction devices inside them.
Denial is hard to arrive at twice,
And I've tired of countless addictions;
My life-breath has been cut off every day
In the grip of your feather-boas' constriction.

Answer 1

I like this, you have inserted some decorative words that elongate some lines too much I would advise of shedding them for a smoother write, however suit yourself it is after all, your...*pants*? LOL! they do fit you well, dear.. take that as a compliment, please.

Answer 2

1) Favorite RHCP album? I have only like about 6 albums by them. I really dig Blood Sugar Sex Magik (their last real funky album). I love it when they funk out. I hate their first album (the self-titled one) and Stadium Arcadium. 2) Favorite RHCP songs? Almost all from What Hits?! Almost all from the Greatest Hits (Warner Bros.). I like their EMI/America years more than their Warner Bros. years but "By The Way" is an azz-kickin' song. I never get tired of it. 3) Favorite member of RHCP? Flea (Multi-talent). 4) Any interesting fact you'd like to share on RHCP? Yeah, if you like them, you might like their close friends, Fishbone. 5) Member of RHCP you would most like to.... -hug: Nah, there won't be any of that. I know Flea & Anthony get freaky on stage but not me. A handshake/pound is cool with all four. -jam with: Any of them. -sit and have coffee/tea with and just talk: Why talk, go back to jam. -make mad, passionate love to: Hey, what did I say before. None of that. 6) Post a random link having to do with RHCP. Sorry, still learning the PC. I have no link pasting skills yet. Obsessed are we?
