Food, Sex and Ageing

Submitted by Edna Sweetlove on Wed, 2019-12-18 11:50

Now that I am getting older
My tastes in food and sex
Are getting so much bolder
Why, I'll even try Tex-Mex.

I loved to sit on a hard dicky
And give a good legover
But I now prefer a choccy bikky
Or a Strawberry Pavlova.

Getting old is not much fun
So I may as well keep on eating;
'Cos no one wants to poke my bun
And sexual pleasure's fleeting.

So give me a nice big steak and chips
And strong red wine by the bucket;
The flesh is piling on my hips
Who cares? I say, "Just fuck it".

What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
Last few words: 
Gearing up for a good bout of gluttony at Xmas makes one think, doesn't it?
Editing stage: 
Editing - polished draft

that your pace and rhythm are just fine. I enjoyed the theme, as I too am of that age where I'm starting to spread out a bit and my sex-life is more of the self-indulgent kind these days. I'm sure that you know that rhyme is something I enjoy a lot and yours seems to be of a good bunch. Including the near rhyme that some have decried recently. Nice little ditty! ~ Geezer.
