Touched By the Nymph

. Touched by the nymph tenderly ‘pon mine lips And this heart of mine did throb and mine face the color beet red Oh my pulse my pulse by the nurse could not be read Yes the nymph smiled as she redressed mine bed

Just checking to see if your early verse seethes with the same emotion. I see that they do - lucky nurse!

Is this one of the great happenings while in a hospital bed - a gorgeous nurse? This piece "throbs, colors beet red, with unreadable pulse." Love,Dave
