Before having sex she talked
about how nice it would be
for old friends to remember her
and maybe build memorials
at the places where she slept.
This was a long time ago
and I have not heard of her since.
But I quietly assure myself
that I did what I could for her.
Why, even before we parted
I erected something in her honour.

naughty, naughty, naughty!!

Clever, little ditty, Geoffrey . I wonder, though... did anyone ever adore her enough to erect something permanent for her? At least you did what you could... what a dear friend you were .

Reminds me of the Boy Scout Oath (or Promise):

On my honor, I will do my best:

To do my duty to God and my country and to have good character
To help other people at all times
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight

Thank you for commenting, each and every one of you beautiful and precious people. - Geoffrey

Geoffrey, this is rather clichéd; you are slipping from your usual high standards.

This is absurd. I would never use a cliché - not for all the tea in China.
