BAD SEX AWARD
One of my favourite literary awards.
"After agonizing for, oh, about two-fifths of a second, I straddled him on the bed, pinning his arms beside him with all my body weight.'Remember what you said about chastity being curable if caught early enough?' "
and
"'Perhaps you'd like to take off your shorts.''Do I have to?'
'I think you do.' "
wasn't bad.

An antidote to bad writing - this so embarrassed and thrilled me when I found it underlined in my mum's much leafed copy of Donne when I was 15:
Off with those shoes: and then safely tread
In this love’s hallowed temple, this soft bed . . .
By this these angels from an evil sprite
They set our hairs, but these our flesh upright.
Licence my roving hands, and let them go
Behind, before, above, between, below.
O, my America, my new found land,
My kingdom, safeliest when with one man manned . . .
To enter in these bonds is to be free,
Then where my hand is set my soul shall be.
Full nakedness, all joys are due to thee.
very nice. and i thought i knew my donne, having studied him school and elsewhere. i wonder where my mind was when i came to this page?
Thinking of 'time's winged chariot hurrying near'?
But of course, brooding on that drat coy mistress.
