Actually, as a youth
I was extremely intense,
but I finally managed some sense
and loosened up, forsooth. *
The closer I get to death,
that much more ardent I
intend to be, and will try
to 'die' with my last breath.
So I never intend to be placid -
concupiscence is now the word; **
and despite what you may have heard
my innuendo's not flacid.
*Cut me some slack - I'm doing this on the fly (no pun intended)
** Can we read the first foot as anapestic, please *grin*
