Every time Sheila Jackson Lee opens her trap I get downright concupiscence to shove a shoe store in it..........

Black hurricane names brewing swirl of dissent

[xsmommy]

[Gabz]

I just realized that article was from 2003..........

[xsmommy]

[Gabz]

I gathere these were not the type of briefs you spend so much time writing :)

Concupiscence

Concupiscence, a noble trait,
Still not considered quite first-rate.
As innocence is sacrificed,
To blithely stated “over-priced.”

But there’s a price to pay for all,
The Cupid-sent is held in thrall;
With consequences not considered,
How else would babies get delivered?
