Take your Pick


 

Lupercalia was a hit
before St V. got hold of it.
Drunks and wolves and lots of lashing
helped elevate a ritual bashing.

It’s better than being a cooing dove
canoodling in the trees above,
missing vicious Cupid’s darts
aimed at your internal parts.

Make your choice. Why be a victim?
If an oppressor out to lick him
into chocolate-hearted shape,
first seal his mouth with sticky tape.
