Two guys and a
Chick picked me up
in a Cadillac
They needed gas money.
So after toking
down, I asked if I
could suck the crud
from her blood red
pussy and dog fuck her.
She was blind, 17, and
Absolutely beautiful!
$20 bucks was all. he said
When she laid back
And opened those sweet
Soft nicely tanned
Thighs, my cock stood
Straight up. I leanded forward
And lightly kissed her
On the lips.  Oh be
Gentle she sighed. I spread
Her legs and sunk my tongue
Into her wet, pulsating vagina
And sucked the sweet sweet
Honey from her belly. It was heaven
To be continued at the next exit
I flunk?think?
