IS BLISS, THEN, SUCH ABYSS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Verdict for boot!
Subject(s): Virginity


Is Bliss then, such Abyss,
I must not put my foot amiss
For fear I spoil my shoe?

I'd rather suit my foot
Than save my Boot -
For yet to buy another Pair
Is possible,
At any store -

But Bliss, is sold just once.
The Patent lost
None buy it any more -
Say, Foot, decide the point -
The Lady cross, or not?
Verdict for Boot!
