Making Music Together

With a twinkling smile and a genial tone he said 
(Joyfully frolicking across the kitchen…and pointing at the bed)
“I think some love’n is now in order…”
She just snorted… shrugged her shoulder
(in her admirable self-denial ...her freakish kink)
she stood silent, caught …and irritable at the sink
He said “damn it, you are like a costly cat…
you may be hot and golden but you are also getting fat”
She glinted with a scary calculated disturb
always an excellent engineer of the absurd
(One long red finger nail emits a staccato rap)
with it she gave a single tap 
then...the crystal glass she did brazenly knock 
In his eyes…his iris ...registered the shock
Orange juice and champagne splashed wet and generous all over
He said “Oh I see you want to do this sober! 
Ha!  This is how you appreciate?!
You are out of control…and I am irate!
and if you now think I want you one iota
You can think again …cause you are just a loada….”
(Silence teetered …on the edges of the shards of glass)
till she turned and said ...
“Seriously ...you’re such an ass!”

The end

You are truly original Ingrid; every field grows a beautiful flower unlike the others to which she catches sometimes only the keenest eye, and only her ---- and her only ---- will the finer bees nestle. Thanks for sharing your genius my dear.
