Notes About The Poem
After you read this epic, I'm sure you'll realize that all of you are competing for second place. But please don't be discouraged. I've spent countless, $%^%$#&*(*^%&$ hours on this poem, working out all the kinks. You don't want to put in that kind of time for this contest, do you?!
Unbelievably Great Contest Entry For Brenda Chiri's Photo Contest
WARNING: THE CONTENTS OF THS POEM MAY BE
DANGEROUS TO YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING
(Photo of the Two Lovers is available on contest site),
As any physical therapist worth his salt will tell you
These two wannabee lovers are inviting big, big trouble!*
Photo-analysis
Look at the neck of the figure on the left
bent almost horizontal to reach the eager lips
of the poor figure on the right, whose hyperbolic
swayed back is just a lower lordosis ache away**
While the taller of the two is asking for severe
C3 - C-5 vertebral displacement, at minimum
'Shorty,' up on those tippy-toes, will no doubt
tear both her quadriceps and hamstring muscles
~ screaming in agony before the kiss is halfway through
***********************
So, OK. I confess. This is not an actual photo-analysis
But I am really pissed. (Tsk, tsk. Vulgarity; I know)
Why can't I ever get a long, wet, lascivious
mouth-watering, juicy kiss like this? I ask you!
Well, I've never had lordosis or kyphosis
My diagnosis is -- you guessed it -- halitosis

*Note the clever repetition, ala America's poet laureate, Trump, of 'big, big,'
one of the his (and my) awesome, innovative stylistic devices.
**Note the eerie similarity to Mick Jagger's line, 'It's just a shout away,'
from one of his-stoned out 60's albums. Gives you goosebumps, eh?!
Ha, ha: It gave my parents an Excedrin headache...
