This poem is in honor of August McLaughlin’s The Beauty of a Woman BlogFest III: #GirlBoner edition. If you haven’t read the bloggers who participated, you need to. Just hit that link in August’s name. I didn’t know about it in time to contribute, but it did inspire this poem. Lexicon Of Lust was sitting in drafts all lonely. Today I set it free.

Great poem, Bethie. Mathair and I are so glad you joined in on the sexy fun. Though it’s only our second BOAW, the posts just seem to keep getting better. Love the Girl Boner edition that August did. We’re praying she does the same next year. BTW, we totally had that sexy-ass song from your *hubby* playing, Secrets by Maroon 5, in the background while we read it. Yep. We randomly listen to that beautiful voice throughout the day. Thought you’d appreciate the background music. 😉

If I could… I’d take the freakin’ razor out of his hand… then give him a good spanking for even contemplating to shave off that sexiness.
