a silly poem for every fat lovely vivacious woman i have had the pleasure to know
rolling vivaciously
waddling, walking
wishing for a bite
she sways and swings
flubbering, blubbering
bright as night
the smell of something delicious
in the air drifts by her
noticeable nostrils
and she twists ever so gently
to follow in the direction
of the delicacy
a road side stand
crisp dosas frying
curry and chutney
whiffs enchanting
sambar with lovely red onions
floating
coated with ghee
how lucky is she
and so she sits admirably
still on the bench bare
and she with ever so much care
orders 3 dosas and a cup of tea please
and perhaps 1 more to take home to her niece
her lips water when the aroma is beneath
her mouth and steaming on the plate
she grabs and nibbles and bites and chews
savoring succulent stupendous tastes
licking her lips, chewing slowly and
relishing tastes so ecstaticly pleasing
and when she is done, she drinks her hot tea
adds more sugar
as sweet as can be
leaves a large tip and takes up her package
loosens her petticoat discretely
prettily popping mints in her mouth
again
swaying down the street saucily
