She wanted to be
Gina Lolabriggida
but she was
Miss Low Libido
of 1963.
She kept a journal
of all her fantasies
the only girl
at an orgy
being with the Beatles
one by one or simultaneously.
Her journal
had all the fun
- she had none.
She had her desires
but nothing lit her fires
but she was
Miss Low Libido
of 1963.
And so she settled for being
a wanna be Sandra Dee
placing her virginity
high on the shelf
out of reach of anybody
(including her self)
gathering dust
until her death.
She wanted to be
Gina Lolabriggida
but she was
Miss Low Libido
of 1963.
