Eat Me

“Eat me” she said, “eat me”

Just do what has to be done

Take me with your mouth

Tantalise me with your tongue
 

“Lick me” she said “lick me”

Taste the pleasure that I hold

Savour me with each mouthful

Let your senses unfold
 

“Taste me” she said “taste me”

As my juices are starting to flow

Finish me off in a mouthful

I’m only an ice cream you know
.

I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some bastard with a torch bringing me more work.

Eat me poem

Shazbat,I love it when that happens, but the icecream part threw me. These actions are WAY BEYOND enjoying an ice cream. As you know, there's a tremendous amount of giving which is the greatest pleasure. What other last line would be better? Only you could know what else was said. wcw

My wife is on a diet and insists that food speaks to her, apparently cakes and biscuits whisper "eat me" as she walks past, so perhaps food can speak Regards John

I have read Kind of lingers a few times and i love the clever play on words. I'm not being coy at all here this needed to be written this way otherwise the kicker wouldnt work. And I still like Benny Hill, are you being served (we never did see Mrs Slocombes pussy did we) and even carry on films. Regards John
