Luscious Piece

It stood; oh so large, round, and pretty pink,
a singular morsel, a missing link.
Arched and quite firm, a culinary treat;
this ripe, randy, raucous piece of pink meat.

The diners sat making naughty noises;
jaws dropped, tongues lolled, not a bit of proud poise.
And, all ‘bout the table gasped in despair,
the fear, the horror, would they get their share?

They'd thought of other uses for that sweet meat
Though what 'twas in there minds, I'll not repeat.
Men paled, lasses flushed, it was quite clear,
As a sharp edged blade was brought to bear.

Eyes covered, groins grasped, lasses faint all round, 
Observing the slice, the Lord's knife bore down,
Then, with a broad smile, he mimics a clown
and passed luscious pieces of sausage 'round.

The poem doesn't say anything wrong. I would think the perception of the reader might. Beer and kielbasa. Would someone be offended If I asked for Busch? Have a great one. Vince

Wow... if I tell you the thought this poem conjured in my head you'll probably think I've completely lost it...as opposed to my usual 'sort of lost it' mentality. here's a hint... 'it stood (erect?), oh so large, round, and pretty pink'........and then it turns out to be a sausage....really Deb, do I have to say it? And then they eat it afterwards too!!!

You certainly managed to capture all the moods and feelings of this poem splendidly and a fantastic use of rime. The nudge nudge quality just adds and relaxes the piece enough, stanza four says it all! Enjoyed a lot thanks for a great read.
