Unbelievably Great Contest Entry For Brenda Chiri's Photo Contest

WARNING: THE CONTENTS OF THS POEM MAY BE
DANGEROUS TO YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING

(Photo of the Two Lovers is available on contest site),

As any physical therapist worth his salt will tell you
   These two wannabee lovers are inviting big, big trouble!*
 
                  Photo-analysis
Look at the neck of the figure on the left
   bent almost horizontal to reach the eager lips
of the poor figure on the right, whose hyperbolic
   swayed back is just a lower lordosis ache away**

While the taller of the two is asking for severe
   C3 - C-5 vertebral displacement, at minimum
'Shorty,' up on those tippy-toes, will no doubt
   tear both her quadriceps and hamstring muscles
     ~ screaming in agony before the kiss is halfway through 

              ***********************

So, OK.  I confess. This is not an actual photo-analysis
   But I am really pissed.  (Tsk, tsk. Vulgarity; I know)
Why can't I ever get a long, wet, lascivious
   mouth-watering, juicy kiss like this?  I ask you!

Well, I've never had lordosis or kyphosis
   My diagnosis is -- you guessed it -- halitosis

*Note the clever repetition, ala America's poet laureate, Trump, of 'big, big,'
  one of the his (and my) awesome, innovative stylistic devices.

**Note the eerie similarity to Mick Jagger's line, 'It's just a shout away,'
    from one of his-stoned out 60's albums.  Gives you goosebumps, eh?!
    Ha, ha: It gave my parents an Excedrin headache...
