Parade with US

Why can’t I startle you?
I’m wearing garters to the knees.
If you snap them I’ll go boo
and do anything you please.

I’ll dance about rather snarky.
A bounty of pricks in each cheek.
You won’t know me from Porky:
the Porcupine of the Street.

Keep your distance but kiss me.
I’m your dream come true.
A rainbow of unity
rolling in the blue.

Two feet in the ground
I flap for the flag.
Tempting to be sound.
Your conscience in the bag.

I am lithe and lovely
A dipper in the sky.
Raise your lips to kiss me.
I’ll vanish in your thigh.

Let’s tire of life together
and slip into the woods.
Rest in bark and lark forever
and always display our goods.
