Still it haunts me that I went – 

That I must go again – 

To that woman with morals bent

As corkscrews who, to men,

Is fanciable flesh and naughty tongue –

Yet she’s a feast of all delights

Who drives me crazy certain nights.

Dining room’s post meridian gloom

And think, how fortunate is this room...
