Upon the Shelf

Upon the Shelf
by
Kevin L Fairbrother


I spied it sitting on the shelf
A pretty shape and so smooth
It set my pulses racing
And my eyes bulged in my head
…

I picked it up with gentle touch
And caressed the smooth skin
My fingers explored the bottom
Then ran up to the head
…

I put my face against the skin
Was bowled over by the aroma
So I kissed it on the head
Then bit it on the shoulder
…

The juices flowed I sucked them up
And peeled the skin from the flesh
Caressed the body so round and smooth
Which made more juices flow
…

The flesh so sweet.. oh so sweet
I was drunk with ecstasy
All gone now.. just lingering sweet taste
Which makes me want to
Pick another Orange off the shelf

Inspired just now whilst eating an orange
