Lagniappe

Written B: D. Collins 7/25/23
When it comes down to it, I like Lagniappe with mine.
A little something extra as hot as cayenne.
The special thing that keeps me coming back.
Is a woman willing to share all of her Lagniappe.
/'lan?yap/
noun
something given as a bonus or extra gift.
It's a Li'L Sump'n added that we never see coming.
So, never turn it down, nor turn away running.
Embrace it and enjoy it. It is only Lagniappe.
The thing a person like me is trying to get at.
