Business and Pleasure

That the joy of sex

leads to childbirth wrecks

so many marriages

in the years of carriages

for those who are challenged

with business and pleasure

balanced askew

business weighing down

heavy not much sexy now

lots of frowns around here

unless the heart can steer

past the myriad of lists

and the lover inside insists

and persists to pursue and woo

the diamond hidden away too

precious and wasting its light

because beauty seen right

creates a lust for stealing

moments and looks and feeling

so right and ripe for the taking

dawn sparks love-making

before the kids are waking

and will hear how with tears

love has come with sex and years

of loving diamond hardened strong

and nothing here is really wrong

and business and pleasure

one’s carriage holds together

and the joy of sex

makes all the better.
