A gift for Miss Murchison (warning---bad poetry alert!)
Following up on a conversation with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
missmurchison this afternoon about her Buffy-Spike-Angel threesome fics -- and with a shout-out to Alton Brown of "Good Eats!" -- I offer this modest proposal in mangled verse:
There are some things that don't really mix,
Like vampires and sharp wooden sticks --
That's how it is now and ever has been.
Angel and Buffy have felt a compulsion
To mate, but their love needs emulsion --
To their mayonnaise, Spike's lecithin!
On their own, oil and lemon add flavor,
And combined, they've a tang that we savor,
Though their union seems doomed not to last.
Now, the brooding and drama and fighting
Of the B/A were always exciting
. . . and short-lived! But that's all in the past.
Spike began as a vampire Sid Vicious,
But he stuck (like dried egg yolk on dishes!),
And his ending should not be insipid.
Let a lasting relationship form
Among three heroes (two cold, and one warm),
With Spike's 'egg yolk' the key phospholipid!
I hope you like it, Miss M!
I'll start trying to think up a rhyme for "flying buttresses" next.
P.S. -- For more on lipid molecules and chemical bonds (comprehensible even to those of us who never got beyond high school science) plus a very nice mayonnaise recipe thrown in, check out this college biology course website: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/lipids.htm

Good! Now maybe that image will finally move out of MY head, before it compels me to even more drastic action (like finding rhymes for "hydrophilic" and "hydrophobic" and "trans-fatty acid" -- because, frankly, I don't think any of us would want to see that)!
