Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Peakless Performance

He’s got a whole lotta pencil
But he ain’t got no lead
The dude talked a perfect story
She was aroused by what he said

The magic didn’t happen
When she took him to her bed
Although she had great talent
She could not raise the dead

The elevator was broken
It did not reach the top
There was no peak performance
So in the end she had to stop

Boy oh boy he sure was pretty
It was a shame it was a flop
He promised her a fountain
But she didn’t drink a drop

Duke Beaufort November 3, 2018 at 10:47 AM Poor guy!! That is a very disappointing feeling for us and them. Oh well. When the brain wants what the body can't give, it's a shame. I wonder what the problem was--mental perhaps? Perhaps he had a true love he felt guilty about? Your word choice is highly appropriate and funny!!
