Hearst Castle
Tiger skin rug love, I stroke, you bite me.
Executive leather upholstered tightly.
Bar in the next room, cocktails at seven.
Soft lights, sweet music lounge through eleven.
Let's walk in the garden, French windows open.
Patio paving concrete and crazy roses in blossom,
they're doing well this year.
Geranium pattern shrub topiary.
Lie on your lush lawns, waterfall bubbles
Drink at my fountain, forget all your troubles.
