The Alfresco Moment

by Russell Edson
 A butler asks, will Madam be having her morning coffee
alfresco?
 If you would be so good as to lift me out of my bed to
the veranda I would be more than willing to imbibe coffee
alfresco.
 Shall I ask the Master to join you for coffee alfresco,
Madam?
 But my nightgown's so sheer he might see my pubic delta
alfresco. And being...Read more of this...

Leftovers

by Barry Tebb
 Empty chocolate boxes, a pillowcase with an orange at the bottom,

Nuts and tinsel with its idiosyncratic rustle and brilliant sheen

And the reflection in it of paper-chains hand-made and stuck with

Flour-paste stretching from the light-bowl to every corner of the room.

Father Christmas himself was plastic and his vast stomach painted red

With a bulging sack behind his back and he was...Read more of this...

Hot

I didn't want anybody else to have her,
and if I didn't get home on time

Her Toys

by Robert William Service
 I sat her in her baby chair,
 And set upon its tray
Her kewpie doll and teddy bear,
 But no, she would not play.
Although they looked so wistfully
 Her favour to implore,
She laughed at me with elfin glee

I brought her lamb and circus clown,
 But it was just the same:
With shrill of joy she...Read more of this...

At San Sebastian

by Robert William Service
 The Countess sprawled beside the sea
As naked a she well could be;
Indeed her only garments were
A "G" string and a brassière
Her washerwoman was amazed,
And at the lady gazed and gazed, -
From billowy-bosom swell
To navel like a pink sea shell.

The Countess has of robes three score,
She doffs and leaves them on the floor;
She changes gowns ten times a ay,
Her chambermaid...Read more of this...
