Hey Prettying

Abandoning me in boredom,
Now I see dis will lead a fruitless sojourn,
Wat really does dis hold for a prospective forum,
Surely I feel u desire d formation of a quorum,
Shall I always cage my unleashing dictum?

Align towards d sweetest pit of a heart and pray 2 remain at d bottom,
What gradually generates an auspicious occasion?
Do we uncociously relay d function?
Certainty already proposes a condition?
Probably an excuse 2 eternal accommodation,

Sadly she ignores d clarity of a freshly cooked portion,
In commemoration all dat she fires is jst 'A Question,
Surely dis humble poet never expected such as an appreciation,
Off she goes to properly protect any consolidation,
An encouragement she throws forward pretending 2 understand?

Promulgating constantly is her doctrine of intricate negativity,
Well in futuro Her terms might enunciate    Longevity,
A switch of facts might streamline an expected positivity,
Oh yes she finally gives up 2 a plea of austerity,
Right here all of which allays further delays tends towards extricating sincerity.

Premium Member Love In the Twilight Years

Can we talk about love in the twilight years

Ain't not no expert I must confess

But the older I get, find myself ogling young ladies

Might even think this old guy's obsessed

Not at all my friends, I can take 'em or leave 'em

Now what the hell am I saying

Prettying up the landscape more than us guys

Hope there's plenty upstairs I'm praying

How boring to live an eternity without ladies

Sure wouldn't look forward to that

Rather go down below where the bad girls are

They'd certainly adjust my thermostat

I've led a clean life for the most part I'd say

But for a couple of minor infractions

Like running around with a bunch of loose women

All part of a young lad's passion

Let's talk about love, a favourite subject of mine

Ain't not no expert I must confess

The older I become, the more decrepit and sad

Going to miss seeing girlies undress
