I reckon
that I cottoned to her
cause she was always clingin
to me no matter
what wrinkles came to be

it was a scorchin kinda thing
the way she wove her mystery
into my very fiber
pressing her heart into mine

there were times it pricked me
needled me into submission
that nefarious cupids arrow
threading its way into
the very fabric of my dna
straightened me out
just like starch

Reb, It's a winner but...
Hope it gets through the censor.
Be well

i'm really not a "material girl" but this poem has given me a whole new outlook on starch.  

you've sure ironed out any doubts i had in this thread, that you are a man who can knit words together in a tapestry, cleverly and with *style*!!!  

~ all you can really ever expect out of life is a good apology and some decent poetry ~
