EIGHTY-FIVE

[tehpuck]

Well, that was a learning experience. Though I have definitely done more than half of the things I did yesterday, I don't believe I did any of them in couplets. I thank Zeus I didn't come across anything warranting the description of orange

Door hinge. Just in case the orange problem crops up if it happens again.

[tehpuck]

What would I ever do without your essential aid, Rose?

[ohrosalita]

I don't know, Robin. Develop an appreciation for free verse?

[tehpuck]

And what a horror that'd be.

...You know, no really interesting poems have been written about me in free verse, now that I think on it. You should fix that.

[ohrosalita]

I haven't finished my first book yet, I'm not sure I'm up to the kind of homerian epic that'd require.

[tehpuck]

It'd doubtlessly be a bestseller, for all that effort, not to mention the subject matter.

[ohrosalita]

It'd be the first poem ever serialised in Playboy.

[tehpuck]

I think some of your roses-are-red poetry has graced those pages before, in one way or another. But mine shall be, if not first, the best.

[ohrosalita]

I will write you something sometime, Robin. Perhaps not an epic, but maybe a sestina or two.

[tehpuck]

I'm always up for a sestina or two. I'll even pose for you, for purposes of inspiration, of course.

[ohrosalita]

Well now I think you've got poetry mixed up with life drawing.

[tehpuck]

I posed for the man who wrote the original ballad. I even tied him up, afterwards, but the two may not be necessarily correlated.

[ohrosalita]

It sounds like a pretty distracting way of inspiring someone. Though if I ever get to that reference text on kinks throughout the ages, I'll know who to consult.

[tehpuck]

I tied him up afterwards. And I invented half of those kinks, I am the best and only person worth consulting.

[ohrosalita]

Robin Goodfellow, bacheloreat in BDSM. I hope that one's on your resume.
