Turn-off poetry

Turn-off poetry. Poetry intended to inspire raging feelings of sexual placidity, disinterest, and ambivalence. Also known as sclerotic verse.

The drugs no longer work, dear,

Viagra's lost its touch.

There always is Cialis, but

That costs a bit too much.

That Goat Weed tastes disgusting,

And I hate that Chinese stuff -

I think the time has come, dear,

To say enough's enough.

But do not be depressed, dear,

For now on, you will find,

If I can't love you bodily,

I'll love you with my mind,

Though I might get distracted

From you for a short time,

Please rest assured my love

For you will be sublime.

Although we do not hug now,

And hardly ever kiss,

Please know I always think of you

In an ecstatic bliss.

Although we sleep apart now,

And hardly ever touch,

We'll make love all the time

(Though never speaking much.)

The drugs no longer work, dear,

Viagra's lost its touch.

There always is Cialis, but

That costs a bit too much.

That Goat Weed tastes disgusting,

And I hate that Chinese stuff -

I think the time has come, dear,

To say enough's enough.
