/// He’s too shy to propose, so The Suitor
brought his sister— she’s bolder (and cuter).
Sis spoke on his behalf.
Juana stifled a laugh
and thought, “He’s not a man, he’s a neuter.”
/// Juana always had liked Pablo’s sister.
It was difficult now to resist her.
Mía grasped Juana’s hand
a division was spanned.
Her next thought: “Must I marry a Mister?”
/// The two women conversed eye-to-eye,
Mía’s hands resting on Juana’s thigh.
Pablo eagerly leaned
forward, but what he gleaned
was that he’d never be Juana’s guy.
/// Threesomes once seemed quite daring, no doubt,
(though condemned by the dull and devout).
Now folks favor a quad.
Four is balanced, three’s odd,
and I hate it when I’m odd man out.
/// So if plans for a foursome you hatch,
find two couples to link and detach,
who don’t mind taking turns.
For excitement each yearns,
with a kind of a nude tag-team match.
/// Still, a quad isn’t always endorsed.
One could end up diseased or divorced.
Some prefer their own hand,
but if foursomes are planned,
just make sure that the bed’s reenforced.
