I purchased some 'cherry lips' from an old fashioned sweet shop at home .. the sweets have a strange taste rather like a very cheap scent and it was great to reminisce eating them again after many years and I also purchased some 'floral gums' which were also scented... I wonder if any Brits remember them from their childhood.

Her scent is so alluring as she hits on a guy in a bar. Cherry ripe kisses so adoring - with his cash she could go far. Scarlet talons now are clawing at his back as they tumble into bed. But when he takes her stockings off... he discovers she's a he instead! 30th October 2016

Oopsie! Hey babe take a walk on the wild side ;) Ha, made me laugh out loud. Reminded me of Amy Winehouse lyrics. "With a pickup that puts you to shame And Cherry is her name" :)

Never trust a woman whose lips and nails are painted the color of blood. This is such a typically funny ending for a "Jan" write. ;-)

The cherry lips sweets in the jar are a crescent shape - the jelly lips I found to go with the poem lol:-) If you have never tasted cherry lips they have a soapy type scent to them it's difficult to describe lol - once tasted never forgotten:-) hugs jan xx
