Procol Harum

Herbert Terwolbeck's views on AWSoP

'Here's my 2 cents,' (writes Herbert Terwolbeck, in May 2006)

We skipped the light fandango

A man and a woman (we) skipped foreplay (light fandango)

turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

Clothes (cartwheels) are scattered (turned) across the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick

The man (I) was going up and down, like (kinda) a ship on waves (seasick)

but the crowd called out for more

The woman (crowd) desired more (called out for more)

The room was humming harder

The woman (room) got excited (humming harder)

as the ceiling flew away

and the woman orgasmed (ceiling flew away)

When we called out for another drink

Now the man's orgasm (another drink) was about

the waiter brought a tray

The man's penis (waiter) ejaculated (brought a tray)

And so it was that later

It's another time

as the miller told his tale

As the man's penis (miller) ejaculated (told his tale)

that her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale

the woman's face accumulated semen (ghostly, whiter, pale)

She said, 'There is no reason, and the truth is plain to see.'

The woman noted (she said), penetration is not possible (no reason) as the penis (truth) is not erect (plain to see)

But I wandered through my playing cards

The man moved back and forth (wandered through) his genitals (playing cards)

and would not let her be one of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast

The man would not let a willing woman (one of 16 vestal virgins) get dry (leaving for the coast)

and although my eyes were open

His eyes were open

they might have just as well've been closed

Her eyes, however ...
