gently a breeze stirs
a scented satiation
the ants arrived late

When cooking some stewed plums and custard
Distracted, I ended up flustered
They tasted so weird
and sadly I feared
I’d added a dollop of mustard!

He had opened
His second resturant
'Dehlcious
After his first
'Mak Tohal'
His book was sellimg well
'How To Flavour Curry'
And his TV show
'Byriani Like Nani'
Was hot stuff,
So he thought he had
The ghee to the world.
How come I never looked like Hot Stuff in a sundress?
My sundresses by comparison look anemic and shapeless
My figure is not what it used to be (it is hopeless)
It’s fallen down, spread out and looks a trifle excessive
Hot Stuff’s figure is lush, provocative and caressive
Her sundress is stylish, vivid and really expensive
My secondhand garb lacks style and are oppressive
Maybe a sundress worn at seventy-five is not impressive
Whereas, Hot Stuff’s body and dress are “in your face” aggressive
Am I too hard on myself, too critical and depressive?
Let’s face it; I’ll never look like Hot Stuff in a sundress
Just thinking about it makes me manic-depressive
Hot Stuff’s look is suggestive and expressive
Whereas mine is age-regressive and inexpressive
I never looked like Hot Stuff in retrospect
Yet we all have “our day” in one way or another, I suspect
I had mine so it’s time to step back and reflect
(Kindly!) on our replacements without resentment
Wishing them splendor in the sun without impediment.
