Bad Romance
by Martin Elster

You see her waiting, forelegs folded tight,
and take her gaze as amorous intent.
Her head now swivels, much to your delight.
You hope she fancies you a hunky gent.
What a serendipitous encounter!
you think. Big, green, and sexy—super hot!
Inching toward her from the rear, you mount her.
You sense she wants you badly—quite a lot.
She turns to give you an adoring nibble.
You’ve lost your head completely over her,
and now your hemolymph begins to dribble,
your hips the one thing left that still can stir.
Now headless, you’re quite certain to forget her.
For her, the date could hardly have been better.
