without a menu

leggy waitress spinning round


silken table cloth....

Showered in tear drops
Their pink leggy drenched pistils
Flirt from lilac skirts...

Nothing's better than going out for brekkie
T'was a young lady who was really quite leggy
Couldn't stop staring
Wifey started kicking
Not my fault, one of my appendages got hairy...

Nothing's better than going out for brekkie
A young lady across from us was really quite leggy
Couldn't stop staring
Wifey started kicking
Not my fault, one of my appendage got hairy...

Some days were made for legs to rest and do nothing in particular.
Days when lumps of muscle and fat and skin, sway with leggy hair 
and seeds and mites from crops walked through; some days were 
made for legs....

A leggy pinkish bird
With grace and calm exposed.
How my drear day lightens
When you come into sight.
Painted like sunset stirred, 
Standing pointedly posed,
Your mere presence brightens.
My heart with you takes flight....

She is the talk of the barnyard the alpaca’s whispered in tones.
She is gorgeous, leggy, furry, and she has the prettiest bones.
We were anxious to meet her but were jealous right away of course.
Everyone was super excited about her beauty, even the camel and horse....

dry white snow rasps the asphalt
attempting to reclaim the purity
of a metropolitan morning

coating the concrete pillars
brushing with tender touches
the grates and allies

dusting the bottom lands
of bordering belted swamps
with leggy aplomb

the icy shavings take flight
on the whoosh of winter
in hushed whispers they move on

Double G, Grace,
(or Leggy),
was the talk of town
and her legs in black-seamed stockings
were put out in ads
in London's parks 

Women thought of these ads
on the Metropolitan
and thought how their legs might lead them
into fancy ways
with certain boyfriends
gathered after dark

How they thanked Leggy!
So Leggy had letters
from all over London
giving lurid details of 
legs' adventures on mattresses
in London playtime larks

wee caterpillar
creeps across the old wood porch
glory still hidden

leggy, brown creature
hangs shrouded in a cocoon
as the miraculous transformation begins

spring sun hides the chrysalis
penetrating warmth stirs life

painted in the sun
artist’s pallet holds brilliant colors
luminous teal
black-tip wings etched with gold trim

fluttering free
winged wonder searches for her clan
beholder sees but one of a kind

Alabaster staircase framing chandeliers
    Picassos, Renoirs, Van Goghs lining the walls
  Marble floors, dazzling in the starlight
    Polished perfection staging the Night

  Dainties, delicacies, tray after tray
    Sweetmeats, exotic fruits, more on the way
  Debonair men in their tuxes emerge from limousines
    Women goddesses wear sequined gowns, leggy queens

  Playboys, playgirls of the Riviera making the scene
    Jealousy left wondering what it all means...
