Down boy.
Not yet.
Did you forget that a woman is a work of art?
With maddening plastic packaging
Protecting her heart of hearts?
Toro, toro!
That's just the way it goes;
I knew you'd love this little red number,
And I love the smoke coming out of your nose.
Pffft, tiger, it really means nothing
That you love my pastry, sleek and tan;
You must worship my sweet custard filling
If you want to be my man.

Now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteCustard filling. :) Love it! You're so clever.
ReplyDeleteYou asked for a reminder. It's that time again:

nice...def lyrical...and true in what really matters...otherwise they get full on the pastry and just make a mess of the filling...
ReplyDeleteLove the plastic packaging around the heart - more effective than ice! This poem made me smile.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I guess it's all about animal instinct in the end.
ReplyDeleteWe get all dolled up then pissed if they can't see beyond it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis made my morning!
ReplyDeletePush all the buttons, flip the switches, then put the goods in the refrigerator. Otherwise, sticky fingers. Of course, I never minded sticky fingers. (We'll talk later about how I feel about you writing a poem with droolworthy pastry images at this sensitive period in my life.)
ReplyDeleteI love custard. ;)
ReplyDeleteplastic covering...custard filling...my my...love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove custard but we've recently found out that plastics have destructive elements in their make up :-)
ReplyDeleteSelf-absorbed, chaotic, and fast fashion. This video is the very definition of the 80's. Thumbs up. I give it 4 Member's Only jackets out of 5.
ReplyDeleteI caught a fleeting glimpse of your title as I was getting onto your post and thought, 'Surely I misread that.'
ReplyDeleteBut no...I was underestimating your wit and playfulness with words...something that should never be done when it comes to Shay.
I'd skip the sugary exterior its a distraction,the beauty is indeed in the filling
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness - LOVE THIS.
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs to you!
:-D Anna
love the first stanza
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun read, Shay. Sometimes I think you have audio at your site. It would be fun to hear you read your poems:~)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Makes me think of those damn Barbie packages!
ReplyDeletemy, oh my, little lady! your writing is delicious! {i prefer cream puffs myself, but the filling is the same as eclairs. {smile}
ReplyDeletei'd never heard of Lene Lovich ~ her voice reminds me of Deborah Harry (Blondie) ~ love her costume!
