Blater Life Decisions Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Chocolate or sex, in proper context,
So important, we know indeed.
But which shall we choose,
As we go on that cruise?
Fifty-something, weak in the knees,
Navigating rough and sensous seas.
Why not just forego this despair,
Enjoying the abundance of salty air
Thankful for heaven and voice,
Seven days to make a choice.
We can praise, we can sing,
We can do anything!
Better yet give her a surprise,
A whisper and toast.
This week my darling,
I think we'll have both.
