I have invited my best friend

To spend a weekend with me

In the town of Ramsgate

We have agreed to share a room

With fine sea views

But not to have sex together

As this might spoil our friendship


Mathilde is lying on her bed

She is quite naked

I have placed a book of poetry

By Paul Verlaine

On her generous cunt

So that she might

Read his work

Whilst I buy our breakfast

Nearby in this coastal town
