My Kingdom For ...

A lie, a lie to deceive the eye
or I'll know I am no painting.
A kiss, a kiss from a winsome miss
or missus to stop me wanting.
A heart, a heart from a generous tart
of tartan-skirted lubricity.
A life, a life with a grateful wife
or wife-size model called Felicity.
A love, a love to go hand in glove
or glove-puppets like ventriloquists.
Again, again I'll go round the bend
while bending over my contortionist.
A death, a death, a gasping last breath
as breathless as virginity.
