Sonnet 153

Cupid - lay down the brand and get to sleep;

Since sterile smooth technology's been found,

Since the cost of actual sex got too steep,

Your lovekindling fire's been forced underground:

Leaving us free to air clean, clear eyed love

And no more messy date nights to endure.

Young blades in hairnets at Sainsbury's* prove

Testosterone's killed by the kindness cure:

He said "I'm your server!" - love's brand new fired;

Fit guy - for trial needs, you can touch the breast

Here's a BOGOF** panting to be desired:

I'll get the room, you'll be my one night guest.

Rhyming STI's with little white lies

Can't stop him filling this housewife's bored eye.

Sonnet 152

In loving me we both know you're forsworn,

But I am twice the liar love of thee swearing;

You the old bed-vow broke, leaving faith torn,

I vowed old love - it's this new hate I'm bearing.

I won't be accused of what was  broke by thee -

Since my trust in Old Faithful's* not the most,

Swear some teary oaths,  I might show some  kindness -

Oaths of new love, new truth , some constancy;

 Just to enlighten me, give my eyes blindness**,

Make them swear blind it's the real you they see.

Then, swear me fair again my perjured eye -

I'll need some confidence to live this lie.
