That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 21, 2023

The bars weren’t a problem. All the essential parts lined up perfectly.

It took a few broken teeth before they figured how to kiss through the fence.

/// Her papà thinks her lover’s beneath her.

“He just lusts for the gold I’ll bequeath her.”

Papà locked her away

behind walls through the day,

and at night she is knocked out with ether.

So far, so good. But the further they go, the harder the semantics become.

the evening ended grate!

So, how did you get the name Barbara?

Tetanus!

“Hurry dear, before daddy plugs the fence back in.”

Let us hope the bars were not so cold as to present a sticking problem.

“Oh Darling! Words escape me!”

Chastity fence

Gianni and Lucia weren’t the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. The gate was unlocked!

The most recent Puritan courting tradition, the date gate, made courting even more boring…until you found ways around it!

Yes, fine, we figured out how to solve this one. Got any good ideas about the chastity belt?

Joan was serious when she said “we have to set boundaries”

“And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme.” – Mark Knopfler, “Romeo and Juliet.”

Um, I don’t think this is what’s meant by “using protection”….

Yes, my dear, that is indeed the password.

“You’re the best lover I’ve ever known, bar none!”

Carlotta a kiss is not just a kiss with you…it is a lot of tongue………..

She had a unique and literal screening system for would-be lovers; they had to demonstrate that when fired up they would become caught between the bars.

“Glory Gate”

“Darling, I promise that nothing will ever come between us!”

Kissing between the bars isn’t a good idea in freezing weather…

“I promise, kiss darling, kiss that next time kiss I won’t kiss forget the key kiss, but, no, kiss, your belt buckle kiss will make too much noise kiss”

“Is that rotten Lothario at the gate again Barbara? No, Daddy, it’s just the mail- I’ll get it”…Too right!
