Lover Monster

Across the Sahara, I come face to face with lover monster. Upward across the Drakensberg, I come face to face with lover monster. Sailing along River Nile, I come face to face with lover monster. Indian to Atlantic seaboard, I come face to face with lover monster. Across the oceans, I come face to face with lover monster. Up the Rockies, I come face to face with lover monster Upon the Alps, I come face to face with lover monster. Lover monster here, lover monster there, What a fate fronting me and my lover? Let me sit down, come and devour me. In your stomach, I’ll build my home. But how will you digest my bones?

Carlos, you have met and seen many but you do not know. Think again, my dear.
