In Answer to the Above

When a pair of red lips are upturned to your own,

With none to gossip about it;

Do you pray for endurance and—leave them alone;

Well, maybe you do—but—I doubt it.

When a shy little hand you’re permitted to seize,

With a velvety softness about it;

Do you think you can drop it, with never a squeeze;

Well, maybe you do—but—I doubt it.

When a tapering waist is in reach of your arm,

With a wonderful plumpness about it;

Do you argue the point ’twixt the good and the harm;

Well, maybe you do—but—I doubt it.
