Moon in our bedroom window
reflected off the mirror,
cheeky bugger to nose in,
drew an X on the carpet -
buried treasure there?
nearer treasure wife's thigh,
where my hand moved, paused -
phone rang - who'll answer?
let it ring, however urgent
less than this so urgent call...
But I spose you did answer the phone, Andrew
