PERILS OF KISSING WINE-KNIGHTS
It's a sweeping generalisation
but I've found it to be true
certainly of my generation
That when kissing Wine-Knights
one has to be aware of
finding onion and sage
in teeth
upon beards one can
forage and find it there too!
Enough! these men deserve
to be matched with
leary ladies
sweaty scrubbers
and matrons of malice
Grooming gloom descends
on those 'delectable'
specimens of manhood
"No, please-do share the hair
the flab
the stench of debauch"
Dignity desists from residing
on sheets not fresh
and having tie-dye
patterns of fluids bod-il-y
but I've found it to be true
certainly of my generation
That when kissing Wine-Knights
one has to be aware of
finding onion and sage
in teeth
upon beards one can
forage and find it there too!
Enough! these men deserve
to be matched with
leary ladies
sweaty scrubbers
and matrons of malice
Grooming gloom descends
on those 'delectable'
specimens of manhood
"No, please-do share the hair
the flab
the stench of debauch"
Dignity desists from residing
on sheets not fresh
and having tie-dye
patterns of fluids bod-il-y
