Eclair de Lune

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.

  1. Custard filling. :) Love it! You're so clever.

    You asked for a reminder. It's that time again:

  2. nice...def lyrical...and true in what really matters...otherwise they get full on the pastry and just make a mess of the filling...

  6. Push 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.)

  8. Love custard but we've recently found out that plastics have destructive elements in their make up :-)

  9. Self-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.

  10. I caught a fleeting glimpse of your title as I was getting onto your post and thought, 'Surely I misread that.'

    But no...I was underestimating your wit and playfulness with words...something that should never be done when it comes to Shay.
