PERFUMEREE
Don't
you dare
suggest I
wear fragrant oil!
The Old Goat in his
garden shed has daydreams
of romance while he's bedding
his tomatoes in the greenhouse
soil. A spoon of garlic if I may?
A clove a day keeps Caddoc's hands at bay.
(*) Just my little joke!
This is hysterical .. garlic indeed!
ReplyDelete(goes well with tomatoes I hear.)
Ada
ReplyDeletemy Ada
your pink skin
would be lovely
regardless which scent
was gracing its surface.
I would adore you the same
covered in garlic, my mushroom
cloud of doom laden frigidity...
why don't you roast some cloves in readiness?
I know who you are, Anonymous! And flattery will earn you a smack round your silly Welsh head. Although the "mushroom cloud of doom laden frigidity" is, it must be said, a powerful poetic image. Wipe your feet before you come in, look you.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing so hard this is so freaking funny!
ReplyDeleteI hope freaking is not considered in the list above as a swear, filth or rant. I just can't stop laughing. Not just the poem but the comments too!
ReplyDeletethis is deliciously, wickedly funny
ReplyDeleteRene
Hysterically good!
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think Garlic would put off a gardener!! Silly girl, better you get down and dirty in the hot house!
ReplyDeletegarlic doesn't work in our house! Hah! Great post!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the wolfbane!
ReplyDeleteDang bust it! An odd expleteive crept in, and I had to delete the comment in the interest of purity of expression. I will now have to go and wash my mouth out, before Mrs T does it for me... Mae'n ddrwg 'da figen i.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to see an ally in you, Stafford Ray. Naturally a gardener would enjoy fruits of the soil, in any guise - or any place- though the prospect of my Ada down and dirty in a hot house
ReplyDeletehas more than shivered me timbers.
And Jinksy, I'm sure Ada will be over the moon to see Welsh creeping in... unlike me in muddy boots...
lol that was good :D
ReplyDeleteHehee and maybe a silver cross?
ReplyDeletei dunno...garlic just adds to the spice...smiles. nice magpie...
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile....you are hilarious! :-)
ReplyDeleteNo, Ada, I can't imagine VAMP-ing yourself up - not even with such a classic perfume as Acqua di Parma. And of course, that being an unisex perfume, used for example by Cary Grant AND Audrey Hepburn, your instinct might rightly warn you... Maybe you are more into 'Youth Dew'??
ReplyDeleteAnd dear Anonymous: if Ada is as parsimonious in housemanagement as ... elsewhere..., tell her that Marilyn Monroe, when asked what she wears in bed, answered: Chanel No 5. So '1 drop only' can save Ada the money for her nightgown!
It may take more than 'one drop only' of Youth Dew for my Ada, Britta, but I love her dearly, warts and all - and certainly I'd go for the Chanel No.5 over a nightgown any day. Could you explain this concept to Ada for me?
ReplyDeleteYou want to keep his mind on bedding the tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteKeep up with the garlic :)
Too funny.... are you sure about the garlic?
ReplyDeleteGarlic and tomatoes are a perfect match! Don't forget the Parmesan!
ReplyDeleteOh, too funny! I spewed me flippin' beer! Ya owe me a pint!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Anonymous's lovely Jaguar poem?
ReplyDeleteFrom his No.one fan!
