Ode to an Electric Blanket.

My Darling have you missed me?
As much as I've missed you.
Through a long and lonely summer
Nothing we could do
but wait until the Autumn
When once again we could embrace,
Enfolded in your arms
A warm and tender place
To lay my naked flesh
'Gainst your body soft and warm
To feel you getting hotter
Till I can bear no more.
Dear Lord! this heat is burning
Just one thing I can do
Leap from the bed
And switch you off,
Or down to setting two.

Yeah...

I found a couple of little stumbles in this absolutely true and funny poem.,
but before I show where, I must admit, that in past years,
I have shown such a fondness for my electric blanket.

"Through a long and lonely summer"

"but, wait until the Autumn" Nice job! ~ Geez.

Blanket.

Thanks Geez. I have edited as you suggested. Only another 8 hours or so and it's back to her warm embrace. Alex.
