Theme and Variations for the Pornograph

        Expletive!

              The noun is coming to verb her

          over and under again.

           This young stud has three gorgeous substantives

        to deal with adjectivally

               for sweaty hours.

               His adjective noun

              has turned stiff as a ramrod

            but given what is present participle

            it won't be for long.

           Verb at the gorgeous nouns on her!

              Can she really handle being noun-verbed

        by both those qualifier guys

            adverbially, turn and turn about?

               Naked as a simile,

              she is adverb ready

             to be very coarse metaphor

              before our very eyes.

           Whose noun is that he has in his mouth?

        This one must be the most adjective

             you could possibly imagine,

             fit to be verbed

                repeatedly, with noises like a noun.

            At this stage

           I verb I could well handle

              verbing pronoun softly myself,

          if I put my mind to it,

        which wouldn't be too adjective.

                Pronoun is turning me on right now.            

                Expletive. Expletive!
