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
