Notes About The Poem

Andrea Dietrich Has Finally Come Out of the Closet

She went into the closet one day
But what a high price she did pay
 
Her hubby he wanted a cuddle
But this act soon burst their bubble
 
The door of the closet shut fast
His ardour was a thing of the past
 
Their claustrophobia was getting worse
So Andrea checked in her old purse
 
She found an old credit card
Joe picked the lock, which was hard
 
After 20 minutes they were free
The relief on their face plain to see
 
Take heed - next time you are after a ‘screw’
Make sure the door doesn’t close on you!

Good one on Andrea. I wonder if a little claustraphobia would dent Andrea's spirit. Love, daver

G'day Jan... A funny situation to be in Jan. I gather that no 'kinkiness' was involved. Regards - Lindsay

You must read the blog Ilene - I am just grateful Andrea allowed me permission to post this:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Awesome, jan. I love the picture you used. I felt like that woman. But it looks like she is just locked out of her house. That is a much better thing to be than locked inside a bloody closet. hahaha. I googled if anyone had ever died from being accidentally locked in a closet and was amazed not to find anything. I think it was a pretty rare thing that happened to us!! Hope you get many more reads!

Yes...I read the blog....Man...if I were stuck in the closet...with hubby in a mood for romance....I'd say...BABY BABY.....Let's have a go and worry about getting out....after a few minutes? Hours? ;) HEE HEE! I AM claustrophobic, so that probably ISN'T going to be my reaction. I'd be like Andrea...Who was she hankering for in there? Tom Cruise or those yummy burgers? Good one, Jan! You are a sweetie pie! HUGS

Thanks for the lovely comment Eileen. I did mail it to Andrea to seek her permission -I was delighted she agreed to it - not everyone would appreciate my humour at their expense! :-) Hugs Jan xxx
