Spoonin’ with babe in the living room,
feeling that it’s time to make a move.
We’re cuddling here on the couch together;
If Vance, I’d pant for divan stuffed with feathers.
But I think: etymology. From where comes
spoonin’, what’s the word-origin route?
Musin' about this until I scoot
to my computer, where I hit the keys
and gaze into the screen, where I can see
two meanings, just one’s relevant to me. First,
spoonin’ from Wales, this one means “love spoon,”
given to a girl by would-be groom.
That one? No, no.

To the second origin my eyes stray.
Essentially it means the dog-style way.
It’s chest to back, and then commence foreplay.
A way for sex to be—like spoons connected. See?*

Scootin’ back to the couch, set to spoon,
movin’ beyond spoon in living room...
no doze, no clothes.

Groovin’: one hump, two humps….
