Beautiful But High Risk

Beautiful But High Risk By Elton Camp The graceful shape is just right Blending of colors is a delight Not an bulge of fat is anywhere Always will be seen entirely bare And no jewelry is ever needed By foolish pride never impeded No money is demanded or expected If to make use of, you have elected When taken right along with you There’s no objection to nip or chew Also, no ceremony will be required For a thing that’s so easily acquired Some past partakers came to regret Because of what they then did get For there’s one small fact to know Dire death could come, fast, not slow So eat wild mushrooms if you dare But about your life you don’t care

LOL, I'm not sure there is a message to get. What I was trying to do was compose a poem that initially seemed to be warning against an illlicit sexual relationship, but have it end up that I was talking about wild mushrooms. I guess it was a sort of lame attempt at humor. Thanks for reading. Elton

We have some friends who do risk this. I hope all readers will continue all the way to the end of this one. I returned to my love of ending twists. Elton
