    Love the brevity of this one! How it ends with "The kids got tired," heh, makes me laugh.

    Also to sound stinkingly patriot
    but also historically and
    experientally correct:

    Most of the founding fathers
    were lovers and so are most
    of the average Americans

    simple eros
    is frequently
    the boss

    as you would expect
    with free women
    and men
    the poor as well
    after all
    the best things
    in life are free
    sort of
