To Die For

Until I met my lucious lover
I was ambivalent about having another.
My last affair was bittersweet.
My arcane pain I kept discreet.

This one however is quintessence.
My desires awoken from quiescent.
Although I'm flamboyant, he makes me shy.
An intercessor I'll need, I know a guy.

He'll tell him how tactile I can be.
Sweet, loveable, passionate me.
If unsuccessful, I will consume libation.
Become an oblation by immolation.

Now Arthur, don't you think 1,000 is enough?? You make those of us here who care for your welfare nervous. Especially me, a nurse...

We were quiet at work today. When I read it out to my midwifery colleagues, we had a good laugh. When they asked me what it was about, I had to admit I didn't know.

I could suggest a good 30 yr. old single malt...But I hope that's unnecessary. Best wishes Jean...

If it's that good...maybe I could just die of inebriation Charlie?
