Zeus lusting for the noble nymph Danae
Gathered his clouds to screen his desires
Called on Hephaistos to stoke up the fires
Called for Ares to sharpen his weapons
∼His startling hard-thrusting lightning
∼His ear-cracking thunderous bolt
∼His chariot’s horses with hoofs hard pounding
Then hand-fisted his sword while thinking of squeezing and easing into tight-fitting sheaths.
He sought out Poseidon to deal for the sultry seas to surrender their moist laden steam
Then consulted with ancient alchemists
To downpour on the nymph in a shower of gold

🙂 Watch this space for 5th June. I was challenged to write something… romantic. As you know, I don’t do romantic, hence the challenge. 🙂

Thank you. It was fun to write, though tricky to keep to the 88 word limit. Still, that’s the challenge.

I like double entendres, innuendos. I think it”s an English thing. At least the older English sitcoms and comedies were ripe with them.

Not seen it for years and years, but yea. It was standard fare in its day. I’ve a feeling it wouldn’t be seen pc these days.
