This is called “I remember“:

A cold, wet night, by candlelight—
Our love as strong as death—
Your soft, warm thighs and soul-dark eyes
Sweet wine upon your breath.

But stocked items sell best. Try it.

We’d all be screwed if not for the bus.
Signal failures our fates assign:
Severe delays on the Jubilee Line.
