943 - Talking Point


Poet’s United Mid-Week Motif: Conversation.


Talking Point

“Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, 
always runs more smoothly when lubricated.” 
― Marquis de Sade

While the Marquis raised a wry snicker,
Conversation increases with liquor.
And as the Romans opine
There’s truth in that wine
So you get to the climax much quicker.

  1. Candy's dandy
    But liquor's quicker.
