Sextext Poem by Edward Iacona

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Or so the old cliché goes.
But, there was something missing
As our loving relationship grows.

We both knew what that was
And what would make us smile.
If only we could find a way that
Makes our connection more tactile.

Even on the World Wide Web
Making love is still in fashion.
Words can paint vivid pictures
That conveys a lover's passion.

A cyber world of pleasure
Certainly is in place before us.
All we need is the Kama Sutra
And a good Thesaurus.

With an adventurous spirit,
To speak of this rather candid,
We developed the useful skill
Of typing single handed.

Weeks later she reminded me how
We solved what we were neglecting
Then announced the exciting news
That she was 'expecting'.

Our computers were protected
So how this happened I was curious.
Nonetheless, such a blessed event,
Would never make me furious.

We still have some months to go
And by her side I'll be lovingly.
I will be there to cut the cord
And it had better be a USB.
