A Delicious Delight! Poem by Louise Tredoux

Then you took me diving, and I could
clearly see why we had to be on our
own, why you didn’t want to dive with
the others; if you had behaved like this
in public, they would have accused us
of indecent exposure! Why did the diving
suit excite you so much? Oh, you said it
was the curves they embodied – cold
and purple, warmed in a bath; then
your hands and lips and mostly your
words – what a delicious delight!

And afterwards, caramel and cream,
well indeed; I would never have thought
it was such an important part of bodily
delight! When did you find out it should
be liberally applied – oh, I know, the
past is dark, does not concern us now;
but I’m so glad you like licking caramel
and cream, and we read of mannequins
serving as platters; I never thought I would
be one, but your satisfaction with me as
platter shows - it’s a brilliant scheme!
