-Author Notes: This was much harder to write than the first, and the meter goes a little wonky in like two places. I'm not sure it's "crazy" enough for River, but I think it turned out decently.

Mistress Tam's Response to Her Stalwart Suitor

All acquiescence! I give you my "yes".
Four chambers shining with aorta's glow.
Intrepid trial meets with great success,
Jayne Cobb, this River steeps you in its flow.
I do desire that our lips - mouths, tongues - meet;
I taste like starlight, like silk, and like fire.
A pact, a deal - my last rites all complete,
A death if you succumb to this desire.
And kneel down pilgrim, my warrior, my knight -
Your mistress commands - at her altar pray.
All flinging fancy flees for forward flight,
My girl- your man-parts: all we need to play.
Serenity's crew surely will be vexed,
But ignore them we can - we're getting sexed.
