Where is that ‘she’?
Sexy but impotent; who wants?
Sexy but adamant; who seeks?
Potent but shabby; who cares?
Yielding but ugly; who greets?
Sexy, potent and yielding, where is she?

The Flea
A flea that bit you had bitten me too.
The two bloods mingled for single blood.
The flea’s body is our marriage lobby.
Neither shame nor sin would accrue since than.
Nor would you have grown any weaker too.
By yielding to me and getting my blood
You would shed no grace nor honour either.
You will make me than the flea happier.
Your yielding to me will not do more harm
Than what the flea has done to you, dear.
[the verse of John Donne, The Flea, rewritten]

Into The Sun
Rising, setting, been trying to get into the sun, yeah.
Wanting, getting, gonna get more, baby, when Im done.
All my life I had been waiting, then you turn me on.
Now therell be no hesitating, Im getting into the sun.
Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday, yeah.
Needing, succeeding, sun, dont go away.
Things are changing for the better, now Im not afraid.
Ill be writing you a letter, cause I just got paid.
Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday, yeah.
Needing, succeeding, sun, dont go away.
Things are changing for the better, now Im not afraid.
Ill be writing you a letter, cause I just got paid.

The sadists
Religions abhor sex
And persuade against it.
Not succeeding in it,
They made it a sin to their joy.

When you go to steal a sheep and you're succeeding, take a big one because the small one will grow.
When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.

Fathercraft
Well (said the small, meek man) we look for change
In this sad world, for these are stirring days;
And men pin hopes to methods new and strange
And see lost happiness thro' altered ways.
And I, who many a bitter cup have quaffed,
Hailed with delight this cult of Fathercraft.
But (said the small, meek man) I've scanned the rules
And studied well all that this author says,
Oh, I have pinned such faith to modern schools,
Hoping one day to see a great light blaze.
And now, it seems, I'm rather at a loss;
For all I glean is that the wife should be boss.
If (said the small, meek man) yielding one's pay,
Yielding one's will, seems new to Fathercraft,
And letting woman have her own sweet way;
Then (said the small, meek man) the author's daft!
I had such hopes! But, far as I can see,
Things go on in the same old way. Ah, me!
