Rome soirees



They say the Church destroyed the gay-
themed troves of Roman art:
the bawdy scenes of nude soirees
and young men's engorged parts.

These Rome ideals of male beauty,
their muscles hard and sleek,
could fill a fresco to a tee
performing all things Greek.

The Church surmised that such freedom
was too much to forbear,
for when the Rome men shot their cum
'twas like their own Lord's Prayer.
