Magpieing For the 46th Time . .

. . . prompted by Willow's gloves, and recent disreputable aspersions from You Know Who(*).
Plea
There's an old saw that says "Cold Hands, Warm Heart."
Let's strip our gloves off, then, and make a start.
With fingers blue with cold, my frozen mitts
would wind their way around your warmer bits!
As sometimes happens push will come to shove
so "Hand In Glove" sometimes tries "HandInG Love."
If your cold heart forgives that awesome pun -
I'll doff my Freudian Slip and we'll have FUN!

(*) Caddoc Trellis, who else?

  4. Never has my heart been cold!
    You know you've kept it glowing
    despite our warring ways of old!
    I promise, I'll keep blowing
    warm breath upon your digits;
    I look forward to their wandering
    like cosy, frisky midgets,
    dancing round me where they will,
    for not aften does my Ada choose
    to give me such a thrill!

  8. Or hanging love...
    I am more devious. I keep my hands warm and my toes gelid.

  9. Spacedlaw- gelid toes smacks too much of jellied eels - or perhaps that should be gelid heels? Why can't you speak Queen's English?

  10. Oh Miss Ada, how wonderfully decadent! :)

  11. Eliza . . . do you mind, dear! It's MRS.ADA! "Miss Ada" makes me sound wonderfully decadent, like some pole-dancing Abergele slapper consorting with a sax-crazed hoodlum in a silly hat. Mind your manners and Happy New Year.

  13. "With fingers blue with cold, my frozen mitts

    I thought at first this was one of those 'scrabble' games where one is requred to change one letter in a four letter word, then blushed at the realisation of where my mind strayed. More please.

  16. Oh, I loved this! I like finding my way around someone's warmer bits, and then handing those warmer bits love! ;) This poem is very good for my, er, innocent mind...

  18. Kristen Haskell! I'm not sure I like the thought of you getting what you need at my place? It wouldn't be a slice of Caddoc, would it? You want to watch him- he sometimes has bloodthirsty tendencies - see HERE
