Those famous words they say: See Venice and then die. <br />I've seen the place and come away alive. <br />Extended search has found my own bonmot. <br />To look at one of Nature's well-kept secrets <br />and to caress the lovely smoothness of it all. <br />God will you let me have a freshly, oh so velvet, <br />a lovely leg just shaved and just for me. <br /> <br />And if I could, like crafty old Egyptians <br />take PROVIANT onto my final journey, <br />I'd like a woman in her midlife warmth and sweetness <br />to come along to keep eternal company.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/venice/
