Love's Brevity

In the blink of an eye,
and the kink of a stye,
or the filibustering sigh
of a speaker,
the clock rolls its hands
to the sounds of  big bands,
as the hand of time grows weaker

Levity/ brevity merge into one,  storm’s 
darkening clouds;  sun’s briefly shone;

We really must hurry, just don’t have 
the time, for kissing and cooing, or a sweet 
sixty nine.

Pull back the sheets quickly,
clothes we’ll keep on;
the missionary position, can be quite fun.

But do keep it short, best not drag it out;
the quicker we cum, the sooner we’re out!

A jaunty little romp, Peter, in a saucy Bamforth seaside postcard sort of way. As for brevity in lovemaking, I was once asked if I made love to music. I said yes, we did it to the Greenwich time signal. And I was normally having a cigarette by the fourth pip. Good luck in the contest. Regards, Viv
