GO ON AND TAKE A GOOD HANDFUL

“Go on and take a good handful”
She said to the trick or treater
So, he went straight for the contents
Of her very well filled sweater
“They normally empty my bag”
She said somewhat taken aback
“I’m surprised, because for me”
He said “I’d rather empty my sac”
“Oh” she mused “that kind of treat”
Aware he didn’t want a hand shandy
She added “You’d better come in
And you can have the special candy”

GETTING ON # 14

I stop to catch my breath
On the stairs and then I frown
As I can’t remember whether

And make a noise like a Carrot

OBJECTIFYING

Oh look
A glimpse of thigh
As her legs cross
Vary titillating
But the young girls
Hipster clad
Showing thongs
Fail to titillate.
However, the young woman
In the lemon dress
Illuminated in that shaft
Of golden sunlight
Does excite the senses
Now a well-endowed lass
On an adjacent table
Leans forward suddenly
And her breasts
Rearrange themselves
Delightfully before my eyes
I know I’m objectifying
But I feel no shame
As I sit and view
A curvaceous beauty,
A shapely leg,
Or well-sculptured ankle,
Pert well-formed buttocks,
Or plump or perky breasts
However, I dislike
Tarty or vampy
So, no bare midriffs
Or obscenely short skirts
Less is more in my opinion
So, objectifying or not
I feel no shame
For lecherous viewing
Where’s the sin
In looking
They are God’s creation
When all said and done
Well packaged morsels
Of his finest work
So why would he
Give us such delicacies
If he intended us not to look
So, where’s the sin
In objectifying such delights
Even if I am the Vicar

POPULAR AND ADORABLE

THE GREATEST LIES OF LIFE

No, your bum doesn’t look big in that
Money isn't everything
How funny, I was just going to call you
I'm only going to put it in a little way
I've never done this before
They’ll ride up with wear
The cheque's in the post
Anticipation is half the fun
This will hurt me more than it hurts you
I promise I won't finish in you
This won't hurt, I promise
No I can’t see the join
Uh yes, it’s very slimming
