“Strawberry Cappuccino”

 

She was into mustard sandwiches,

 hold the pickles, hold the meat,

 once upon a time while pregnant,

 she ate spiced pickled smoked pigs feet

 

Orange sherbet was her favorite,

 flavor of ice cream through the years,

 ‘til she tried jalapeño chocolate,

 and fell in love with spicy tears

 

Fried banana and mayonnaise pancakes,

 used to turn her on,

 ‘til she went to heartburn city,

 a few hours after dawn

 

She once craved turkey jerky,

 dipped in guacamole sour cream,

 but it made her stomach rock and roll,

 and gave her scary dreams

 

She had a kick for sushi,

 frog legs and chocolate ants,

 ‘til she ate too much one day,

 and couldn’t fit into her pants

 

She’s voluptuous with variety,

 a gourmet with her would flirt,

 make her a strawberry cappuccino,

 and her feelings won’t get hurt . . .
