Sonnet 151

Needling man and wife:  whatever sex is*

For you Cupid's midlife crisis sends love.

His cocksure romantic campaign's amiss,

Gone commando with red roses to prove

What?  Bad lad mags under the bed betray

 (K)nobler parts prone to gross body treason:

The  small brain big prick disconnect.  Love may

Be dead - pricks don't see that as a reason,

They'll still rise for same old same old (that's thee);

Don't let yourself go, mothers of his pride,

Well trimmed rose landing strips the way to be

Prepared for your man and bits on the side.

      But beware c(o)untings and  late booty call:

      Are STI's** God's revenge on our fall???


*Prince Charles famous reply when he was asked if he was in love with Diana "Whatever love means..."

**New medical research showing rising incidence of  STI's among menopausal women , who are at more risk because of changes to their ahem "rose" .
