| When I have just taken a liquidy shit and filled our little bathroom
with intense stink, And subsequently stepped into the shower to cleanse my anus, still sore from its labor, and also to sterilize my hemorrhoids,— Then, then is not the time, my girl, for you to take off your clothes and hop into the shower with me to play with my balls. For all your glowing tits, you’ll not be welcome. Though I know you are more accepting of the smell of shit, and can unselfconsciously fart yellow acid into the bed in which we are about to make love, Yet, have pity on my delicacy, O my enlightened and still delicious bride of my youth. For though I cannot but allow that these airborne poop particles are absent of any moral quality, good or bad, Even so I am delicate, my girl, was raised in a city, and so shrink from mingling the sport of Venus with Vulcan’s shit shovel. |
