The Shadow of Joy For BarDiva The line of shadow along the lady's curve Could hide a heaven, or hell of fleshly sin But only those, for angels have the nerve to dance on pins. Else nothing could within. For this is true because BarDiva's form Is perfect in its slender shape and line And just the sight of it could more than warm Our hearts and souls; the Perfect now made Sign. And thankful now am I that my own wife Is likewise slender, shapely, and most bright For else like men throughout this mortal life I'd surely swoon to see BarDiva's sight. And so I shall admire from afar And wish her luck in chasing her own star. copyright E Glas Durboraw, December 13, 2001
