Eating My Words

My Special Floury Valentine

My Special Floury Valentine

You touch my lips with yours.

Your chocolate coats the roof

of my mouth.  Your sponge

crumbles with the proof

of my desire.  I press on

regardless, searching for the core

of your love, so soft and melting,

the sweet heart that makes me long for more.

Hound of the Biscuitvilles

Opening the cardboard kennel
to reveal the shortbread canines within
there's plenty inside
so let's tuck in.

Westhighland Terrier shaped shortbread
with short legs,
you'll be begging for this biscuit
until Barbara Woodhouse tells you 'sit!'

How much were those doggies in the window
the ones with the edible tails?
a pound for the box of hounds
thank DOG for the January Sales.

Oh Spot the dog
he's man's best friend
we've woofed down his pals
and reached the end.
