Tim Ryerson Poet Light Verse

Delicious Delysia

*Comely n’ curvy
*Riddled wit’ scurvy
Good lord my oh me
She surly do be:

bawdy and bold
prancing and preening
shameful and shameless
spicy and spiteful
willful and witty
jaded and jammin’
funky and funny

Bitter with sweet
Sweet with sour
Knock me to my knees
Have mercy on me

the woman got know
the woman got show
the woman got soul…

For Delysia Hendricks
