C'mere, Sugah

C'mere, sugah.
Oh come
_

HERE,
woudja, sweetheart?

Aw, don't be like that.
Aintcha glad t'see me?

All right.
I'll just bide my time.
Sooo,
is that a good book?
Well,
ya didn't have to close it,
but I guess there's a fire or something outside that window.
Yep, something wonderful in-ter-esting.

~whistle~
~sigh~
...
...
...
Well hello there, baby.
kiss~
and
~kiss.
I sure love you a bunch too.
Feels like I ain't seen ya in donkey's years.
I said "years", not "ears."
No, I ain't saying nothing about your mama.
I like ole Jenny just fine,
you know I do!
She made you, didn't she?
(yeah, I know that's pretty cornball,
but true.)

C'mon, then.
Let's go paint the town!

Um, you ain't gonna get there very fast
sitting down.
Now what?
I seen tree stumps less firmly planted.
Take it easy,
I was just yanking your rope,
but how come if I say A,
you just GOT to say Z?

All the same,
I love ya so.
You'll always be my hinny honey,
and yes,
I love your singing.
You shoulda been in some sort of horse opera--
you woulda done your daddy proud.
Now can we go?
Kick up a little dust?

I love it when you walk right close.
Aw sugah.
Aw shucks.

Fun facts to know and tell: a female donkey is a "jenny". When bred with a male horse, you get a "hinny".

  7. Ha. I knew the equestrian (maybe not right word) references so was laughing with you--I especially like the donkey years/ears--very funny. Your ripostes have the great quality of combining both the unexpected, and once one reads them, the expected--that is, they fit perfectly, but come with a little frisson of surprise--meaning delight.

    Thanks. k. (Manicddaily)

  10. Ooh, that picture is so cute! Barefoot train travel; it's the only way to go.

    "how come if I say A,
    you just GOT to say Z?" ... That's just the way I roll, Ladybug.

    "You'll always be my hinny honey" ... I laughed so hard over this.

    I suspected when I read "in-ter-esting" that this was about me. I was pretty sure when you wrote about the ass's years/ears. But NOW I'm completely positive: "I love your singing.
    You shoulda been in some sort of horse opera--" ... I've always known you loved my poems. ;)
