First Kiss

[virtuoso]

First, Victorian kiss
Pairing of stiff lips
A primordial peck
Decorum, rhyme remiss
Solar eclipse blighted time
Warmth from stem to stern
But dry lips a crusty berm
Rusty joints would not swivel
Motionless, limp tissue compressed
Saliva in jittery ducts squirmed
Primed water wheel would not turn
Still, titillated buds did implore
One more phony, staged encore
