Chocolate
for Mary
Knotbrook Taylor
my dark skinned temptress
let me undress you
remove your golden frock
and indulge in choc
o late is the hour
when I scour
the cupboards for you
I know all your old haunts
your memory taunts me
with a cry of longing
of not belonging to any man
or woman unless they have
the where-with-all
a pocket of small
change
that will change their life
and their waistline
from miserable thin
to happy fat
