The Man With The Strongest Face In The World
Clare Kirwan

The man with the strongest face in the world
raises one eyebrow and holds
an entire dinner table aloft,
complete with crockery,
wine, condiments and
seven startled diners.

His firm chin stops traffic,
he opens his mouth
and the world stops to listen.
 
One smile, one kiss
and he’ll knock your socks off
(and everything else),
blow your mind, propel you,
naked and gasping to his bed.
Just be careful
he doesn’t give you head.
