Marmalade Madmen

Marmalade madmen
advertising butter and bread,
tasty orange sweet,
with a smile complete.

Spreading the marmalade,
thick greeting of lips,
lopsided and listing,
opening orbs.

Jingjing Li, sectioning,
slicing jars, supercilious-
naughty, rolling right side
and upside down - smiling.

Fruity and delicious, toothy.
Bitter and delicious tongue
treat. Bergamots, citrus
pucker ups. Yes, please.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 11/15/2024 2:10:00 AM I used to spread jam thickly too. Now I'm on a diet. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 11/15/2024 5:01:00 AM My husband is the the jam and jelly guy, but even he has cut back on that. Hugs ~ Kim
