Notes About The Poem

Premier contest winner (7)

Curtains

Scene
An old bakery with traditional baked food on display.
Husband(H) and wife (W) and the baker (B) at the store!
The Wife and Baker are in love unknown to the husband! 
A conversation bordering on a potential affair!

W: Every time I pass by, I am dragged in to your store,
     What I see here makes me want it, want it even more, 
B:  I am craftsman young madam beyond compare
     all your daily needs I shall serve you well with care!

W: The gentle breeze that rustles your new curtains,
     make my juices flow with aroma of your croutons.
B:  Silken smooth they are and so soft to touch,
     my special rod will hold them, thank you very much!

W: I see your lovely buns are so firm, so strong,
     I would love to hold them, hold them long!

B: I would be delighted madam if you would,
     I have a hot oven that will service you good!!

W: I licked your bourbons and they tasted so yummy,
     What you gave me is still growing in my tummy!!
B:  Well you have not yet pleasured them all
      If you ever need them just give me a call!!

W: I see how well you would knead with those hands,
     I have some parts that require similar demands,
B : I am at your disposal whatever your needs,
     I have more to offer than bakery list reads!

W: I look forward to some more sausage from you,
     Make sure they are long so I can pay my due!
B:  You can bet they will be as you dearly love,
      I wish I could give it to you, here and now!
 
W : Oh, Wait till day break when his office opens,
      just bring your stuff to my door! see what happens!
B : Here is a free sandwich, sir, for work tomorrow,
      to be happy in life, we need to share or borrow!

H:- Thanks for the sandwich!! you are so kind!
     
Epilogue: Life is like that, If you don’t mind!
