Chaste and a Coquette

Once upon a time
these two opposite figures
who were stranded in a ferocious thick jungle
where the wolves, bears, lions, tigers and anacondas et cetera lived.
They talk a different tongue
but it does not bother to understand each other.
They found a cave and started living together.
But the hermit stuck to his morals.
Like in a Hindi movie they don't sleep together.
Early morning he collects something to eat
and the lass cooks deliciously for him.
But how long they are going to maintain the chastity?
And I heard in a rainy night she had convulsions
and questioned the hermit about his clear conscience.

To my poet friend Jerry.Hughes
