That is so sad. Nothing at all.
Noooooooooo
I suspect that there are also many women, of a certain age,whose husbands aren’t interested in sex any more….but I ain’t one of them.
With your own wife or other people’s wives, lol?
Other peoples wives….lol
Dear God,
Do NOT let me be this woman again.
Keep me lubricated or within arms reach of the lube.
Let me keep my voice, so when he doesn’t please and we both get on our knees I can tell him exactly what I need.
And NEVER let me stay silent again. Cuz that was God awful. Way too fucking long.
Oh shit. Can I say that to you?
You can say anything to me….
You’re God??!!!
And you my dear are a miracle.💋
😘
lol migrating to the end of the hall is the death knell to romantic nights. Nice rhyming.
Love the Dr. Suess format. Fun piece, despite the sadness.
My mom once shared with me that she and my dad never lost their passion for each other and were still, er. active until shortly before he died at 84. I wish all couples could be that lucky.
Love your rhyme!!!
But JFC I pray to never be this woman!! No nothing? At all? Ever? It’s quite miserable. :’( Great poem. xx

Praying won’t stop the process of ageing and delusting.If that’s you in the picture then you have time on your hands sand plenty of praying time ahead of you.
May the force be with you.💋
Peter, congrats on your hardware for this piece! It’s truly excellent and you are definitely deserving! The rhyme is brilliant. The meter is spectacular. The subject matter is disturbing, but that’s what poetry is about. Despite the depressing circumstances, you still manage a subtle tongue in cheek sort of literary smirk… capped off by this reference to silverware.
Brilliant
Thanks DK for the lengthy comment….aren’t words magnificent.If only some of our leaders could use theirs more wisely.
😘
Ah, Peter (and I choose that address on purpose, of course), folie a deux of the wurst kind (sorry, couldn’t resist), but terrible enough to be a winner, eh, P? A nice write. had me chuckling for sure. A nice job here.
My day has started well by bringing a chuckle to yourself.
Whimsy and humour often make good poems….right?
and we need more of both 🙂
