It was meant to be a joke present. “I think it’ll be a great joke on Claude. The little fetish doll with the pin stuck right into his you-know-what.” “Say it, Denise, it’s not the 1950s anymore – stuck into his penis! Do you think a little doll dressed up like Claude will send a message to that rotten cheater? Women, to him, are disposable treats.”
I sat quietly, picking out a melody on the guitar. Unfortunately, the tune was easily recognizable as one of my repertoires’s more “adult” selections. The two women began to laugh. Denise looked over to me and said, ” sing us that chorus, Wes. ”
Willing to play the bard, I began the song’s chorus:
Take your fingers off it; don’t you dare touch it,
you know it don’t belong to you.”
Denise’s friend Claire smiled, “Damn, woman. You need a great big needle for that jerk!”
Claude didn’t care much about his birthday present or the knitting needle stuck in it.
