I'm Safe and Sound

September 2, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is humor.

Today’s poem is a humorous poem about wearing a latex sheathe.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

I'm safe and sound

Within my sheathe

My latex sheathe

That guards against

Both life and death

A latex wall

Between us – us?

There is no us

Just you and me

Or lots of you's

And just one me

But if it breaks

I know I'm screwed

I might get sick

Or be a dad

Either of which

Would be a bummer

But love needs trust

And I trust it

My latex sheathe

My rubber wall

To keep me safe

From life and death

Behind which I

Can be in you
