Breakfast Puddin

A whale of a woman 
with a mouse's appetite 
She's the kinda girl,
shy when it comes to smiling.
Heard such things as
cute face, extra large 
in the waist or 
lose a few pounds 
we can go a few rounds.
But I'm here to tell you,
I love the mammal in you.
No need to nibble on a count
of me, I'm not Ray Charles 
your wrists look good to me
I'm old school honey,
grits should be thick
with fish on my hominy.
Ain't a Jill Scott out there,
that should be behind 
a stage. Get up close
and personal, shine
on my face like sun
in winter days. 
I've always been a man 
who understood properties, 
take pancakes for instance,
lay down flat, and pour
sweetness on top of me, 
ain't a man alive
hasn't had his fill of
breakfast puddin.
Thick chicks been in before
Victoria had secrets 
You're front page beautiful,
and belong on every page
after. We put to much into
size and not enough
in our skin. Love from within
