Women
Without them, one could end up straight
or at best, (fretfully), celibate.
Men can be handy, and funny, and rich, yet
even the wisest has hairs on his face.
Nobody wants to kiss hairs in that place.
Monday Rondelet
It doesn’t matter what you give up,
gambling, or gossip, or tobacco, or drink,
it doesn’t matter. What you give up,
whether crème de la crème, or dregs of the cup,
sex, or red meat, or whatever endeavor you think
you’ll tough out, it’s only a bluff, a ship pledged to sink,
so it doesn’t matter what, you give up.
