thus spake bush, sr.

from mail:
t: So you wrote about masturbation and orgasm. When will you write something about menstruation and tampax?



reminds a dear reader, gently
that haven`t written a word
on menstruation and/or tampax

to which i nod and plead guilty
all i know the former is mushy
(no not that mushy)
and the latter is absorbent and
so very necessary, but wonder
where should i draw the line
should i ask bush sr.?
a line in the sand that says thanks
but cross not here for some subject
are so sacrosanct, so inviolable
that you cannot plead the fifth?
