50 Shades of Gold

Take me beat me and mold me I am yours to do with what you wish No matter what you do with me I am still considered quite a dish. I can modify your hardness I can let you know when to boil I can conduct a heat in you And I will never let you spoil. I don’t react harshly, if you get me moist and wet You’ll still love me in the morning, on that I think I’ll bet I will still be malleable, no matter what you do You can beat me to transparency, and yes you see right through. I am a bright yellow colour, with a lustre some would die for Keeping me in good condition, would never become a chore If you really wanted to, you can put me in your mouth I can even adorn your body parts, North, West, East and South… I don’t react to an acid tongue, except those that are vitriolic But you can dissolve me with the acid, called nitro hydrochloric. You can pour me when I’m so very hot too hot for you to play Then you can finger me when I am cool, and play with me all day You can eat off me, or with me, the choice will be yours They say I came from outer space, in fact in meteors But one thing I will say I don’t wear out or lose my lustre, it is told So if you pick me up treat me well, I am you little nugget of gold. © 14/12/2012

And when you were laid on the kitchen table, your portion was seasoned,the spice was sprinkled on to your netherlands,infused in the crevasses where the honey oozes,wielding a magic wand.
