Ode Re-allocated

Wrote this a year back, on Fanstory.com, when there was some 'battle of the sexes' banter going on.

Republished here in honour of a friend who has fallen head over heels in love BEFORE finding out that, ahem, personal relations with the love of her life can be a little on the impressive side. Never mind the cherry on the cake, we are talking cherry on a cocktail stick, methinks.

Pins and needles at attention,
Whether they be thin or thick
Cannot cause me apprehension,
Each a boring little prick

Rather would I have a chopper
Strong and sturdy in the shaft,
With a solid head, a whopper,
Any less is simply daft.

All this talk of weapon wielding
With no guarantee of size,
Are there secrets you are shielding
From our little mouse-like eyes?

Get the goods out on the table
Tell us what we're rhyming for
Give us reason, if you're able,
Recommend yourself a bore.

If you are not clean of habit,
Knowing how to wash a cup,
Scrap the deal and pass the rabbit,
Sorry dear, your number's up.


(Apparently in this case, he doesn't just wash up, he cooks, and even TALKS. She's hit the jackpot - good luck to her!)

Wonderful news about your friend. isn't it funny how so many big things are going on - some are having cruddy times and others are head over heels.

"Little things mean a lot" was a great song and always offered comfort especially in cold weather.
We specialise in whoppers here in Bogsville.

Good on her and you too, this is a hoot.

Hi All,

As the object of discussion has a mind of it's own and, like mindless conversation, expands to fill the available space, it's somewhat pointless applying a rule. Suffice it to say that Annie does have problems with her vision at times. But it is really nice to have one's efforts appreciated....
