A Little Knowledge

Aged eighteen and three quarters Six feet one inches tall, Typical mouthy teenager Who thought he knew it all. At least twenty years older A woman close to her prime Laughs lightly at his offer To show her a good time. Three drinks and three hours later She took him to her bed Saying now come on then And give me what you said. Then, she used him, abused him Gave him a long lesson in style Deposed him, exposed him As an inexperienced love juvenile. Restrained him and trained him Showed him how to share To make tender love with Compassion and care. Tired him, hard wired him Set his body on fire Teased him, released him Shared his desire. Six hours later, both red eyed From lack of rest She told him with pleasure Now you’ve passed the test. She dropped him quite close To his base camp gate Just to ensure he wasn’t Back on duty late, Gently resisted his request To see her once more, Told him, with a kiss To go out and explore. Aged eighteen and three quarters Six feet one inches tall, Not quite so mouthy teen who now Knew he really never did know it all.

Hi Terry, I was an 18 and 3/4 Trainee Drunkard in a strange land - what better excuse could I have (grins self efacingly) Cheers.
