This rock and roll poem is autobiographical.

Pornographic Mind

If I undress you with my mind, am I the pornographic kind?
Or should I look you in the face and tell the truth?
If the truth were ever known, I'd have a rock pile for a home
Bread and water, and once a week, a Baby Ruth

Can it really be a crime to have a pornographic mind?
Let's change the Constitution, pass a law
If you think you're really pure, just remember where you were
Nine months before the day when you were born

I can't get myself off the hook
By reading pornographic books
I can't get no satisfaction from paperbacks
In fact it couldn't be really wrong to sing a pornographic song
A little exhibitionism can help us all relax

Commentary:

They say that honesty is the best policy, and I've believed that ever since I was old enough to make my own decisions. I just love that Baby Ruth rhyme, and I'll bet you $1 that no one else has written that one. So first there was a dirty teenager, then there was a dirty hippy, and now the Dirty Hippy has evolved into the last line of his own song!
