The Newly Pressed Suit

Here is a poem for the two of us to play.

Choose any part from the following:

The hero

The heroine

The bed

The bedroom

The newly pressed suit

(I will play the VILLAIN)

The poem begins this evening at a poetry-reading

Where the hero and the heroine

Are sitting and thinking of making love.

During the interval, unseen

they slip out and hurry home.

Once inside they waste no time.

The hero quickly undresses the heroine,

carries her naked into the bedroom

and places her gently upon the bed

like a newly pressed suit.

Just then I step into the poem.

With a sharp left hook

I render unconscious the hero

And with a cruel laugh

Leap upon the heroine

(The cavortings continue for several stanzas)

Thank you for playing.

When you go out tonight

I hope you have better luck in your poem

Than you had in mine.
