Whole Again

I'm a born again virgin A model of purity I'm resisting temptation and you know how tempting women can be I'm whole again Feeling good again I'm happy being me. I wasn't looking for an apple When I met my first Eve To her delight I took my first bite and myself I did deceive I confused love with love making and three times every night Eve offered me the apple and each time I took a bite. Falling in love became a habit and I was happy to take part but with the dawning of realisation I was breaking my own heart I don't believe in cheating but I do believe in paying my own way Work became my mistress and for that I had to pay. Its been almost six weeks now Since I reclaimed my virginity I've bought a new four poster and chopped down that apple tree I'm whole again Feeling good again and I'm happy being me.

If I count 5 sisters and a mother , My whole life has been shared with women , Every single day of it , I love women but a period of absence or abstinence is sorely needed . Funnily enough , My nagging earache disappeared overnight , lol Thank you Robert
