Photo versus Flesh!
Evans E Bradley 1949 (Washington, DC)
They say a Photo is worth a thousand words or less,
But can it really compete with the feeling of real Flesh,
The Photo is something for one to admire,
The Flesh can really set your soul on fire,
The Photo can fade with time and age,
The Flesh memory you can take to the grave,
The Photo can stir desires and needs,
The Flesh fulfills all with the touch it succeeds,
I always thought the Photo would pass,
But the feelings of the Flesh will forever last!
