Pavlovian - Another Word of the Day Poem*
She had trained me so well it was Pavlovian,
no overcoming her spell unless Jovian,
I fell to the tryst,
which I admit was quite nice,
although our love was as flammable as collodion.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

My reaction to him was Pavlovian,
our collision a force field Newtonian.
But we knew in our hearts
as we lapped other parts
to avoid any channel Fallopian.
Hi, dale.

Nice double entendre ell. I'd lap your parts any day, but that's because I can run really fast  Have maybe a triple entendre!
Ah, I think I should turn the word of the day poem over to you, you always do a much better job than I. I was surprised to see Pavlovian as the word, I didn't really think it was that obscure, certainly not compared to some of the other ones that have popped up. I'm just waiting for merkin, although that may not be obscure enough  Ah, those were the days...as long as you had no sense of smell and didn't see very well.

Uh, uh, I need you to do them first or I'd never try. 
Yea, Pavlovian is weak, I usually have to look them up.
Ha, I had to look merkin up too, obscure enough for me.

Beneath the Slip
His drool was purely Pavlovian,
while ogling this shapely Latvian,
but a distant cousin
was one of his own kin,
and this yen, a bit too Freudian.

Yes, I see you are going the full out psychology route along with the kinipus complex. Too bad you couldn't work in Jung and Horny (hung and horny) then you would have the big four (I think we can allow Ivan to be a stand in for Skinner, I never cared for him anyway, pompous prick).
Chris is here speaking of kin,
I'd just like to know,
where the hell he's been?
Are you going to be coming around more, or are you going to disappear again? Regardless, nice to see you, or at least your watercolor.

Ha ha... Hey Dale, thanks for the inspiration. I have been in and out. My group is trying to deliver a new HIV drug to the clinic this quarter, but we have had some obstacles. Good to see you out and about as well!

Evidently what once was a major problem with trying to fight HIV, that is its rapid evolution, has now become a benefit as it is evolving itself into a less deadly strain, or so I understand. Of course less deadly only means that with the right medicines you will probably not die from it. That is what I have read, but how far can you trust what you read, journalism standards have really dropped. Is that accurate as far as you know? It sounds as though you might have a better vantage point than others.
What does that entail, "delivering a new drug to a clinic", obviously it is more than just carting over the drug and dumping it off.
Glad to see you, hope your work lets you stick around some.
