Heaven Forbid! Naked!

Sitting on Ikea's furniture

Looking at the hollow log

Later, to become a television.

Adam glanced over to Eve

Doing her daily exercises.

Naked!

The somersault, the cartwheel

Hopscotch, skipping, the sprint,

The long jump, the high jump,

The javelin throw, the shot putt.

Naked!

On entering the open- 

Plan lounge room

Hot, toned and sweaty.

She proceeded to 

Dust and clean

Naked!

Bending over picking up

The leaf to dust....

Something happened.

Naked!

Truth be told.

Much to their delight

An erection was born.

Today, two historians argue

Which came first!

The Love or the Erection?

"The Erection came first then Love!" said one.

"Hmmmh! Sticky question!" said the other.

"The Love! "

Meanwhile, going back

Eve asked " Anything interesting on the log?"

"No! Nothing!" says Adam

" Must be the reception!"

Eve then asked. " What about the e.......?"

"Hard as.. hard as...!" said Adam

Thank you so much for your good review Anto lol

[....................]

i believe, Andrew, you have sparked a debate for the ages... the chicken vs the egg will soon make way for love vs the erection in the 'which came first' debate... thinking back on that i think...ah, no, never mind :)

Your writes are always a delight and on this clouded morning the dun has arrived... well-done, my friend...

[andrew mitchell]

these past two writes have such a flavor of Robert Creeley and how he would write poems with dialogue...

a real smile on this late night, early morn.

imagine if that fig leaf never happened...we would all be walking around with our "antennae"

hell of a reception.

[andrew mitchell]

thank you so much Jacob. Being a fan of the Goon show, Fawlty Towers and Monty Python, Spike Milligan, Benny Hill and Dave Allen I like a bit of craziness to lift up the spirits in a much too serious world we live in!o
