Suite of the Night
By day we are draped
In dignity and class
But when the night falls
We do an ornamental dance
We take our Medicine
We don our Keys with Ointment and Bags
Only good must come from this
Nothing bad
As preparations are made
There's a kindling of the sense
He and I know the meaning
The Prelude will commence
We perform the Prelude to our Suite
His ombligo is mine
And he reciprocates
We soberly comply
His ombligo is a canyon
My fingers individually trace
Every nook and cranny
As my heartbeat begins to race
Our Keys are magnetized
We lie on the bed
The Prelude ends
The Allemande begins
He assumes the Scorpion
I put my Key in his Ignition
He is a car that starts up
In mint condition
I undergo this task
Deliberately and slow
Like the roses in the garden
They never speed their growth
The Allemade exemplified the grace
Louis XIV showed in his days
One would surmise that our dance
Was written by Rameau and Couperin
Then time for the Courante
"The Dance of the Beast"
I assume the Missionary
And his zest is unleashed
And yet- a sagacious gentleman
This liberated Beasts remains
He reminds me to relax
So I would not feel pain
Then the Sarabande- the relaxation
Our Keys become Joysticks
To our amusement
And the chagrin of Puritan dipsticks
Our Menuet and Trio
"The Dance of Joystick and Ombligo"
How stimulating! How quaint!
Yet so baffling to the purist saint
Finally the Gigue
He assumed the Missionary
My performance had him singing
The whistle notes of Mariah Carey
When dawn arrives
Our Beasts subside
We drape
We go about our day
And vow to return another night
