SWEET DELIGHT

A BOY AND GIRL AND THEIR LOVE IN 1962

There was that sweet delight
especially when she

had that smile on her
and as you sat

by the pond with her
and she joined her hands

over her knees
and stared ahead

at the ducks out there
and you gazed at her

sideward on
and took in

her fine breasts
and thighs

and she said
ducks are very greasy creatures

to eat unlike rabbits
which are very dry

and you said
I guess they are

but my sisters wouldn't
touch either with a bargepole

and she raised her eyebrows
and sighed and said

guess they would
if they were starving

and you said
I guess people would eat

almost anything
if they were starving

and she turned
towards you

and said
I read somewhere

they ate each other
in the Civil War in Russia

and there was
some sweet delight

when she said that
and the way

her breasts and thighs
captured your eyes

with love of course
with a small dose of lust

mixed in
and that wished

for passion
and dream of sin.
