, Dreaming Away… Poem by Louise Tredoux

You kept your word, you promised
you would come home with liqueur
and a red rose in your mouth and
you did, now you have to bear the
brunt of my love, I can’t stop kissing
you, you looked so sweet, the liqueur
and chocolates were wonderful

Though what I did under the influence
of these wonderful gifts should be a
secret for evermore, don’t tell anyone,
besides, I was practicing for that won-
derful trip you promised me; we’ll have
to use chocolate liqueur to fulfill
our dream; but what a prospect

While you’re working today, I’m
dreaming away…
