Self Adhesive Glue

twitches belie pressure, nerve endings fray ~ in shock from the exposé 

love child appears out of the blue ~ dna sticks tight, unlike cheap screw

damage done, tied is the splice ~ heat of the moment has balls in a vice

prenuptial’s void, tightening grip ~ busted now, far too late for that snip

Hi David, What a well-written " reality check" string of Monokus. After one night of pleasure, now life is not as it once was. One thing is for sure DNA doesn't lie. You write well in this form. Have a great day and weekend-Alexis

Heya Alexis, great to hear from you, yes indeed pick up a tabloid on any given day of the week, and you will read this story, some people just never learn, the Monoku is indeed my favourite form, but only when they come together, it’s never a given lol, cheers David
