you don't need to be advised or coached
our behaviours
the love language we use
us together is a lovely mood
actively listening
trying to understand
showing concern
just holding hands
a kiss as a reference
understanding her needs
knowing her preference
the act of pursuing
with the intention of affection
being consistent in each
and every direction

they had argued over the taste of sweetbreads
with her not willing to taste it
.So he said his wife had a different story.
He made mention of both price and referenced it to
the taste of chicken: she'd bite!
"She said I thought the waiters name was
Thymus!" " he said, who is Thymus?"Dolce Bap;

Tripe, sweetbreads, entrails, offal,
some people spell them awful.
Scottish chefs can do them right
Haggis, a meal, out of sight.
Making a proper meatball sandwich
is virtual what-not-who and which
needing perhaps some extra spice
supply it with a bit of Scotch hype.
The last, best organ 'grinder' that I got
was on Panera Bread’s French baguette, hot.
Barrel-shaped bread held tight as treasure
the tin cup for the drink of my pleasure.

This was a poetry challenge - a twisted valentine
My Honey
(Valentine Challenge)
Dandelions and sweetbreads
are paltry proof
when all year long
he acts aloof.
He hunts all day
this clumsy brute
and barrels home
his horn a toot
bloody carcass
around his shoulders,
he bludgeoned it with a
jumbo boulder
In this black cave
I’m stuck all day
while beasts outside
devour their prey.
With my cro-magnon
cupid’s in trouble,
no match for us,
go shoot another couple.
Happy St. Valentine’s Day
