Lloyd with 2 l's

late
watching the news
Lloyd with 2 l’s
hit’s the joint
and asks
if I’ve written any
more about
him
“not yet, but I’m
thinking.”

he’s
almost 60
still pimpin’
himself
to a list of old
women
keeps him
busy 5 days a
week
man’s gotta work

four gold rings
on one hand
3 silver with black
onyx on the
other
he’s missin’ a
gold tooth
and he should have
one
for legend’s
sake

on sundays
he goes to church
at the tabernacle on
4th street
he wears a gold
lemay
Nehru suit
with matching
pill hat

if he had sunglasses
he’d be an African diplomat
complete with horsehair
fly swatter

he is a
professional
he studies porn
while eating dinner
he’s critical
but not too harsh
on the beginners
on tape
not one of the ladies
at church ever
let him go home
hungry
his studies serve him
well

so
am I gonna write
about Lloyd with
2 l’s
you know,
I’m thinking about
it
