DOGGING

In the world of dogging

there must be variations on a theme

corruption in a blind man's dream

and where the shot semenĀ 

casts its seed to the wind

that's where we'll find a semblance

of truths however unpalatable

where the seeds of sorrow

bring on another unforgiving tomorrow

Always happy to oblige Rose. I just can't believe how unromantic a word dogging is.

Colin, just to get the atmosphere, of course. Authenticity is all - but do you think I could get my wife to come along?

cheers Rose. That line would have been a little "tacky" in a manner of speaking. THanks for reading and enjoying.

Ray,I was expecting the inclusion of 'oh cum all ye faithful'
considering the approach of yuletide.

Great poem.
