Bum
How often have I seen your bum?
We should count the days we have been together
Then calculate mornings and nights
And bath times
And shower times
And special you and me times
And taking off your clothes times
And cups of tea at night times
And visiting the toilet times
And turning the TV over times
And fetching medication times
And bringing glasses of water times
And turning off the light times
And then those extra bum out times.
How often have I seen your bum?

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Oh, this is just lovely! Each example is relatable, realistic and/or cute, then the second to last line about "extra bum out times" pulls at the heart. This feels like a celebration of real connection.
