And The Stars Won't Mind


Chapter 2. A Young Man's Fancy.

A Most Exotic Lady

 

… and then I met Pritzipittil:

a most exotic lady.

 

Her name sounded Prussian

Teutonic, or Slav

but her diamond eye,

carmine hair

and sapphire shading

suggested origins

beyond European climes.

 

She said she’d traversed

a billion light years

to be with me only…

I thought she was

speaking poetically.

 

Two Babychams

would send her into fits

of snuffly-curly-giggles

and her skin would take on

a purplish hue,

then her coquettish demeanour

would glow

in the autumnal half-light.

 

Romantic entanglement was fraught

because her tongue spanned ten inches

and there was a risk of choking,

although I did think

the possibilities were intriguing.

 

Her three breasts didn’t faze me:

I know such things occur in nature

and anyways,

a trio of shimmering nipples

had a strange effect on me.

 

Then I discovered exactly where

she kept her maidenhead

and decided she was far too exotic,

even for a two-penis man.

My Love

 

My love is not like

a red, red rose

with her aquiline features

and roaming nose;

 

I couldn’t compare her

to a summer’s day:

perhaps a wet weekend

in early May.

 

My love is not like

an orchid in bloom,

though resembles a tulip

at the end of June;

 

she’s not as joyful

as a bird on a spree

but she is like a cat,

who’s scratching a flea.

 

My love is not like

a bright, starry night

though early morning

she is quite a sight;

 

she’s never a vision

in silk and lace,

for crimson red, is

the hue of her face.

 

My love is not like

the blossom of spring

though does get wind

like winter can bring;

 

she couldn’t have launched

a thousand ships

but perhaps Titanic,

on its maiden trip.

 

My love is not like

a mystery smile

though her toothy grin

would stall you awhile;

 

when all’s said and done,

she’s the one for me

for I’m no Adonis

myself, you see.

The Problem With Knickers

 

I recall a time

(too many years ago)

when I was a strapping youth

and I courted a comely girl named Marie.

Stuttering hearts in the infancy of first love;

she was the answer to all of my prayers:

every stomping, young man’s dream.

And then one day in October,

we were round her house:

holding hands,

exploring,

discovering,

plying secret trysts

and my loins were on fire;

I thought my libido was about to burst.

Then, suddenly, her Mum entered the room:

a formidable woman of mountainous dimensions.

I was the epitome of a nice young gentleman.

But then, equally suddenly, it turned nasty:

Marie and her Mum began arguing.

Something unresolved,

raised voices,

tempers flaring.

I didn’t know what to do.

I sat like a lemon (as you would).

Marie’s Mum then made a dramatic gesture

and her knickers fell down around her ankles:

huge, voluminous, parachute-sized bloomers.

There was total and utter silence in the room.

And Marie’s Mum then shrieked loudly,

stepped out of her fallen knickers

and ran from the room

at an amazing speed.

Marie then shrieked loudly,

quickly gathered up her Mum’s knickers

and ran from the room at the same amazing speed.

I was transfixed, staggered, not knowing what to do.

Soon, Marie returned, sheepish and embarrassed,

and told me that her Mum said I had to leave;

her mum never let me see Marie again.

I thought my life was ended.

But then I met Julie

and her Mum

was petite,

much slimmer;

a very friendly lady.

And Julie’s Mum’s knickers

were never any sort of problem.

But that’s another story, for another day.

Poetry Man

 

I said I was

a poetry man

with words and songs

and dreams to tell;

 

I said I’d got

the rhythm and rhyme.

She said, ‘Wow!

Come and ding my bell.’

 

I said her eyes

were like sapphires

and her lips like

molten honey;

 

I said her smile

was a neon light.

She said, ‘Coo!

I’ve gone all funny.’

 

I said she was

a shiny moon,

that we should love

amongst the heather;

 

I said we’d dance

a naked fling.

She said, ‘Huh?

In British weather?’

 

I said my heart

was aquiver

and my loins all

knotted with strings;

 

I said we’d scale

the mounts of love.

She said, ‘Hmm.

You say such weird things.’

 

I said we’d live

on the furthest isle

without car or

phone or telly;

 

I said I’d sing

my poems to her.

She said, ‘Eek!

Not on your Nellie.’

Back In ‘69

 

...and when a curly girlie
with winsome hip

and sparkling eye
boldly asked,

“Will you show me

your manhood?”

 

I obliged:

machismo on display –

showed her what I’d got.

 

We tripped

through winter’s

pristine hoar:

giggling,

shining,

awakening

and she lied

that I was handsome.

 

Then realisation hit me
when she skipped away:

hooting with laughter,
clapping wildly,
singing a ditty,
dancing a jig;

shouting out,

”Gotcha!
I only asked
because I wanted
to see your manhood.”

 

I was devastated, debased:
lost my faith in human nature

 

...and worst of all...

 

I got frostbite in my extremity
because I exposed myself
during the coldest spell
in almost 18 years:

severe air-frost,
chill factor minus ten;

 

when the world was new
and the sun was nigh;

in the early morn,
at the start of year;

when I was young
back in '69.
