2: aphrodisiac: a food or other substance that triggers sexual arousal or makes sexual encounters more pleasurable (source: from Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty)

He was a kind of maniac

To think some aphrodisiac

Would make him feel such great desire—

Like some great raging forest fire—

When he was so far past his prime

That all he’d do was pantomime

The feelings from his fiery youth.

In one his age, it seemed … uncouth.

They found him there, the EMTs,

All curled near death, a final wheeze

Escaping from his foolish mouth.

He died—and journeyed to the south

To find out what his life had bought:

A place that was forever … hot.

But he was glad—he didn’t care—
For Aphrodite wasn’t there!
