The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold.

I see your lips,
The summer kisses.
The sunburned hands
I used to hold.

Since you went away
The days grow long,
And soon I'll hear old winter's song.

But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.

This has been around for some time but worth repeating for those that have not seen it.

A smart-arsed chappie at the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would you happen if I came in tomorrow suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"
