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

Perils

Having served in an area where beards are the thing,(for the locals), I saw so much flotsam among the follicles or snot within the sagebrush,(for all the cowboys).I heartily commend you for this humorous,(and all too factual),submission. ngaio
