Notes About The Poem

the wondrous far country

Paris isn’t some wondrous far country.

We have noisy trash pickup and there are no Dairy Queens. 

Ok, It may be far away but that’s your fault - let’s not dwell on it.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re wondrous enough - we have we have running water - some of it hot, and the other bare necessities of earthly happiness, like wi-fi and pizza. 

Paris is like a melon - here’s where you get involved and picture a melon.

If you pictured bananas, those aren’t melons - they’re tropical fruits - try again.

Oranges? GEE-zus, those are Citrus fruits - you are really slowing things down.

Forget it - let’s do some poetry

When he kisses,
he leaves his impress
and makes me writhe and twist.

We revel and carouse tirelessly,
appetites roar and seethe like lions,
until we lie prone like the dead.

I should have saved that for Halloween.

Writhe and twist? Perhaps shaken and stirred - But what do I know.

Not on a poetry site that censures naughty and scantily clad confessions.

You've never writhed and twisted before? You have GOT to try it Chris - I swear. Did you know when James Bond asks for a shaken martini he's actually asking for a weaker martini? More watered down - when you stir the ice it's with a special spoon that then scoops the ice out so it doesn't melt in the drink.
