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

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!!

"She could not raise the dead" Oh my!! Sounds like his toy solider wasn't standing at attention. ;) This is soooo naughty, but so cute and clever. Made me giggle and blush. :) Brandy
