Polyamory
You praised polyamory.
As for me
I am not polyamorous
But you, being glamorous,
I found time

In dusty books
And find pleasure in rhyme.
I still feed my need
With verse from volumes
Full of musty scent.
But there is another perfume
Of which I sometimes repent

A man whose name was Wood

Who walks around whilst wearing no clothes.
But when we go shopping
She does wear 1 stocking.
Which I think shows decorum by Rose!
