			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="byline">An Exercise in Vulgarity</h3>
<p>I was chatting in Voodoo Chat when my friend Andi decided to leave the computer for a bit. But before she left, she warned her fellow chatters to &#8220;not molest me while I&#8217;m gone.&#8221; I assured her that no one will do such a thing, but I might end up reciting a <em>vulgar</em> poem about her breasts. She then proceeded to challenge me to come up with something by the time she returned.</p>
<p>And I did.</p>
<p><span id="more-10"></span>Presenting <em>The Plea</em>, two versions of it. First, the dynamic, raw original:</p>
<blockquote class="poetry"><h4>The Plea</h4>
<p>I dream with lurid interest<br />
Of those bouncing pair<br />
Beneath the fabric stretched taut.</p>
<p>A spittle of drool by my lips,<br />
Licked away by an eager tongue,<br />
A tongue eager for a taste<br />
Of one&#8217;s essence so succulent and fresh.</p>
<p>A gasp escapes my trembling lips<br />
As I am engulfed by a phantasm of the mind,<br />
A fantasy of your tender teat<br />
Parting my eager lips.</p>
<p>Until I scream out<br />
In the dark of the night,<br />
With a wanting plea,<br />
&#8220;Oh, Treacherous Goddess!<br />
Fill my hungry mouth<br />
With your warmth,<br />
Your creamy spirit!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>And then the version in Shakespearean sonnet form:</p>
<blockquote class="poetry"><h4>&#8220;The Plea&#8221;</h4>
<p>I dream with lurid interest of those<br />
Bouncing pair beneath the fabric stretched taut.<br />
By my lips, a spittle of drool viscose,<br />
Licked away by eager tongue, but it&#8217;s naught;<br />
For the tongue&#8217;s eager for a mouthful taste,<br />
Of one&#8217;s essence so succulent and fresh.<br />
Gasp escapes my trembling lips, as I faced<br />
A phantasm of the mind and the flesh;<br />
A fantasy of your sweet, tender teat<br />
Parting my eager lips &#8217;til I scream out,<br />
In the dark of night, with a plea replete<br />
With want and desire, a desperate shout!<br />
&#8220;Oh, Wicked Goddess! Fill my hungry mouth<br />
With your creamy spirit and end my drought!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
