satin sheets stained
with love’s  after glow
enthusiasm for love’s rhythm
and shortness of breath
trembling petals
love’s payoff
explored every nook and cranny
exhausted but oh my
I am so smitten

Yeah, you're right about those satin sheets. I have a solution to that problem, just climb back upon them.

Thank you Emma, for calling me out as to who and what I am. Oh yes, I belong in the hounddawg class for sure, and I took it as a compliment.

Heh.Heh This, my friend works with pine straw 'neath the tree that shed the straw. Oh yes. I recall that vividly. South Arkansas. Her name was Marionette.

Don't know where you got that idea. She was horny. I was horny. We did it. End of story.

Oh, sorry... I just thought it a little strange, that her name was marionette

That completely eluded me when I read your comment. I apologize for snapping back atcha. Really, I should have "got" that. Her name was really Marionette and I wound up marrying her.
