    Bora Bora
    When I was off in Bora Bora,
    Examining the native flora,
    I had a yearning to imbibe
    Libations of the local tribe.
     
    They served them up with evening victuals,
    And used them in their mating rituals.
    They came in reds and blues and yellers,
    All dressed in fruits and toy umbrellers.
     
    I found them sweet and somewhat heady,
    In fact they made my knees unsteady.
    Yet seemed to me to be quite fun,
    And so I had another one,
     
    It warmed my length and depth and girth
    And filled me with unbridled mirth.
    Which somehow led to three or four,
    Till my proboscis hit the floor.

    Hehe... Dah, you need to make your way down to Bora Bora. I hear they come in virgin varieties... It might be better for your proboscis as well!

    LOL! Tell me about it!

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
