Ménage à trois
Time to make the awkward introduction.
Reader, meet your author,
I’ll be your ventriloquist.
Allow me to explain you to you
the whisperer in the wings
doing what ghosts must do.
Pinned between the sheets,
I’ll be piggy in the middle;
a ham sandwich
you could say,
your indispensable partner
in our creative three-way.
So what’s it like, you ask,
being the essential cog?
More like the third wheel,
wallflower at the ball,
ready to be kicked out of bed
when final credits roll.
Only connect!
