Punky Brewster Tattoo
She was such a Soleil sight surprise,
sunburst bubbly ...
tulip breath of fresh air
After the first “hi,”
more of her
I was beach boy daydream thirsting for
With an Orphan Annie
cavalier disdain for the ocean blues,
her Punky Brewster attitude
was a magnetic, attractive allure —
A force of personality gravity
that had everybody beach diving in,
following
with reckless abandon
That ruby lip girl
was just so ivory cute unleavened cool,
I tell you the honest-to-dove truth
Cutting thru the crowd
of her sand castle entourage
was an eye Atlas task,
which I was skinny-hearted brave
challenge willing to do
I had another’s tattoo on my heart
laser quick removed
That moon-eyed girl
took a tidal wave interest in me,
much to my Soleil surprise —
A beautiful Punky Brewster tattoo
got light beam carved into my mahogany heart,
deep on the inside
