Last night,

i went to Jupiter
and met a brown-haired damsel loaded with voluptuous charm
Her cold darting blue pupils wiggled into my warming heart.
My eyes undressed her
She gasped
"Would you come along and dine in my love fortress?" I begged
Her feeble hands softly whispered on my lap
" My Valentine."
