PASSION SPENT

 

After over twenty-five years together

Through both foul and sunny weather

Sex doesn’t seem the same anymore

The flame has gone out that’s for sure

 

Love making used to be spontaneous

Now we have to achieve a consensus

And the earth doesn’t move anymore

Even moving the headboard’s, a chore

 

Then we were young eager and supple

Now we are a more sedentary couple

Then we spent most of our time in bed

Now we have a nice cup of tea instead
