Persimmons, Porcupines and Guns

Her lips were of Persimmon pink
Her nails of Porcupine
              And when she puckered up to kiss
You’d better which your spine!

Her eyes could penetrate the night
Like lasers from a gun
              and when she set her eyes on you
Oh boy, you’d better run!

Let’s not forget about her feet
At “Bunny” speed, no less
              She’ll hop right in and nibble when
she finds out your address

Persimmons, porcupines and guns
And with those Rabbit’s feet
  She’ll chase and kiss and scratch and burn
What might she like to eat!

If this is nonsense, I must be losing it, Mike. Somehow I find it all very logical! ~ Shows to Go you, Gershon
