I

[abu nuwas]

I can't stop smiling when I read this. I'm very curious as to what inspired this poem. In any case it's a great short poem. Thanks for sharing.

Mark, I had been reading a lot of poems which seemed self-indulgent -- some woman banging on about some bloke who had buggered off, and it was all 'I this, and I that'...so..didn't take much . I also wrote some other 'battle of the sexes' things, quite similar really.
