In re the couplet . . .
by Fred Marchant
1.
let your words linger on my lips,
the pair slightly parted
2.
I have always loved the 2 dollar
bill, two for the paper of 1
3.
deuces wild, jacks or better
to open, and the push
4.
lung, kidney, eye, ear, teste, ovary,
one is never enough
5.
the threesomes and beyond only
for the very young
6.
under a blanket, tv murders on,
us two, never happier
