Butterflies
Her curls were like butterflies
His eyes were like blue wine
She smelt like the seashore
He smelt like woodland pine
She loved him from the front
He loved her rear so fine
She couldn't eat meat
He found meat sweet
She heard like nats
He listened as he sat
She thought like a Centurian
He thought like Cleopatra
