No Eskimo

First, warm with words
(not too many. discard old or extra.)
add 2 lips
to 2 lips.
put them in the steamer.

add a cup of kindness
and a tablespoon of cayenne pepper.
whisk in a whisper.

take a head of baggage,
then cut away most of it with a sharp knife.
add two cloves of Mata Hari
and a dash of Roller Derby Queen.
shake it.

mix one finely grated anticipation
with hey batter batter from the softball girls.
place over a low flame for 20 minutes or until her voice thickens.

fold in one set of clean sheets,
slowly increase heat.
Marlene Dietrich til it reaches an internal temperature of 160.
Bettie Page any excess.

finally, sprinkle devilish looks over the top,
add ground temper for seasoning.
sweeten with oh honey.
temple whore to taste.
no eskimo.

(serves two)

  3. Lots of fun, lots of heat, and a recipe for just what to do on a cold winter night, when you don't have an pre-warmed igloo handy. My favorite part starts with 'place over a low flame for 20 minutes or until her voice thickens..' and pretty much doesn't stop.

  10. Out of standard .. out of this world!
    Mata Hari and Roller Derby Queen, match that could only be made in your (meaning YOUR'S) imagination.

  11. The juxtapostions--pepper and kindness, Dietrich and Page--are virtuoso things. I agree with the wise and wonderful G; this is clever and then some, but not in such a manner where it's clever for cleverness' sake, where it becomes the tail wagging the dog. There's winsomeness and warmth here, and it ain't all the pepper.
