Gregory Richard Barden Poet Epigram

Notes About The Poem

My Favorite Shirt

Oh, how sublimely my hormones hurt
                    At the sight of you in my favorite shirt

Not once did I ever intend to share it
                    'Til my peepers eyed how well you wear it

Oh, my, lordy knows I've a need, devout
                    For the beguiling way that you fill it out

At such divine form, I've no need to scoff
                    Yet, you're finer, still ... when you take it ...

Off.
