Pucker up Buttercup a voice said as he exited dreamland
He saw the creature’s full red lips and his heart beat overtime
As his sleepy hazel eyes began to see easier in the dark
A goat’s head appeared behind those enormous red lips
What a way to wake up on a Tuesday

Whoever thought up 'pucker up'
surely knew not how to sup
at the lovely font above a fair chin ~
likely cracked his tooth on her jaw plunging in

When I think of the young, poetic pup
who coined the phrase, 'pucker-up'
I wonder if he merely ucked her fup

I'd like to say that I'm the best,
and tell the others "Kiss my test',"
but dignity applies,
and not-so-subtle lies...
Head to toe - they can "Kiss the rest."

Wanna move up the ladder fast?
I'll tell you what to do;
Run to the boss's office,
And shine those dirty shoes!
Are your fingers stout enough,
To massage his smelly feet?
Clip those crusted toe nails,
Make sure they're nice and neat!
Hang around the time clock,
Snitch on those who's late;
Spend more time in the lunchroom,
Scrubbin' those greasy plates!
Volunteer for overtime,
Never seek a penny more;
Bring up the morning papers,
Deliver 'em to his door!
Walk his ugly dogs,
Drag 'em at least a mile;
Find someone to baby sit,
You'll be gone for a while!
Show up when you're ailing,
No matter how dark or drab;
Take him out for dinner,
Be sure to pick up the tab!
Drive his wife to the mall,
She's bound to get a thrill;
Make sure she's extra happy,
When you ask to pay the bill!
Wash their dirty laundry,
Maintain that sculpted lawn;
Sleep is just a fairy tale;
You're workin' up 'til dawn!
Take his kids to the zoo,
Let 'em drive you up a wall;
If they throw rocks at a camel,
Be sure to take the fall!
Get ready for a let down,
Kissin' up won't take you far;
Bosses ain't really stupid,
But boy, they know YOU are!!

I handed toddler sour pickle
I bribed him with a shiny nickel
Took a little bite
And to my delight
His puckered face, gave me a tickle
