LUST

All human lust

Must end in dust!

Be hot - like toast

To get the most,

And like the toaster

Shooting forth

Perform and eject

For what it's worth.

The grave is dug

The juice abates

Death pulls the plug

The earth awaits.

Take care of those bronchial tubes, Harry. Still, an "itis"
makes a change from those tedious "isms".
By the way, I believe that the three of us can justifiably
lay claim to being the senior contributors on WOL, with -
I estimate - a combined total of approximately 210-220
years between us. But isn't imagination a wonderful
thing? bettered only by memory in certain instances - whatever the age.

Thanks JC. I had it in mind that there's nothing wrong
with honest lust between consenting parties and lucky
souls should make the most of it in this life. The toast
analogy was encouraged by a late breakfast - using
my toaster - but, I have to admit, minus the lust!

All very true, MC. But a word to the wise - don't put it quite like that to ladyfriends. We'll never know whether Andrew Marvell was successful with his exhortation to "give it up for your man".
