She is dreaming up
all the grand qualities
in a man
He gives her an adorable smile
kisses her like a devil
passionately makes love to her
like there is no tomorrow
She pants and moans
thinks about their likely
possible future together
He looks at her with his puppy eyes
lays with her over and over
he says to her
I am labouring to give you a child
for our future
My Queen!

Pocket knife
Punch key
all things of great value
Until you need toilet paper
then
you have to be creative
Then again
why would you need it if
you have
nothing to open
nothing to slice
nothing to drink
complicated
it is
