How To Make Love Part 5

Every hammer needs a nail
Every tunnel needs a train
Don’t fly off the handle at every turn
Speeds increase to the unknown
Curves know their way around the bend
Stay on the rails as gravity sometimes pretends
A bumpy ride is up ahead on tracks laid down
“No return” stamped on tickets to the “void”                                         
When the sun turns on its side at midnight
Sunny side up, turns to the camera lens
To view the picture very nice and naughty 
Virgins understand the venture and the depths 
Virgins depend on the end as their best friend
Leave it to the conductor for a smooth ride home
Leave it to his wife to finish alone or at least at last
