Lover's Lament
By Songster
13 April 2005
Another sorry story.

Lover's Lament

 

Whatever has happened to sex today,

doesn't anyone do it the good old way?

It used to be completely unknown

that toes are the most erogenous zone,

Surely it's easier, in the back row,

to be kissed on the lips than sucked on the toe!

And how can a girl get a really good lay

when all of the dishiest guys are gay?

And one other thing I wish that I knew

is who is the person who has got two

for jumping in bed with and three-way fun

when I'm having trouble getting just one?

Songster.

4th line from the end - I think the 'that' needs moving.

:cry  
 
I'm sure Casanove did plenty of toe sucking in his time! 
 
(I'm sure three way fun is terrubly over rated!!!! Too complicated if you ask me!) 
 
Just wait, somewhere, some time, around another corner and Bam! 
 
Nice little plaintive poem. 
 
If you are going to use capital letters at the beginnings of lines then you need to be consistant, or use small ones right through.

Thanks Betsie, You could be right. 
Thanks for your comments Spiday. Re capital letters at the beginning of lines, 'Surely' is a mistake - a result of the automatic capitalisation of new paragraphs which I did not notice. In general, I think capital letters interrupt when the meaning flows into the next line. This is a question of personal choice.  
This is a jokey little poem to amuse, not one intended for serious critical attention.
