Love to Lust

By: 1000th Ghost

I have the official engagement ring from The Phantom of the Opera

Forty dollars on eBay

But Mitty will be married without a ring

To Tom Kitten

She has no fingers on which to put a ring

She is a cat

And besides, her poor, little paw was crushed when I was three

By the plastic Christmas Tree

I would be lying if I said that Tree was not

Sexual

Or neither was the skeleton Halloween decoration on the front door

I called "Skelly"

Not that eight-year-old me ever denied it

To herself
