I Thought I Was Eros

I thought I was never
A neophyte in lovemaking
Surely my bedroom prowess
Was a gift of providence

Gone were my floundering, lecherous
Smoldering inhibitions

Sadly my dolorous bombastic
Evaluation of my carnal skills
Was greatly overrated

Unfortunately I came
To this conclusion
Much too quickly
