Pink Passion

PINK SATURDAY

PINK PASSION

Pink bedrooms fascinate me (also they don't appeal)

But the question that I'm asking is 'How does the male sex feel?'

I know if I were invited into a macho pad,

(Which, at eighty, just won't happen and that makes me sort of glad),

I'd be 'put-off' the whole excursion if the bed was like a car

And the walls were liberally pasted with a busty movie star,

If the sheets were patterned with golf-balls, and the curtains motor-bikes,

And the whole room reeked of perfumes which only the male-sex likes.

(I refer to Eau de Petrol, and Essence of Garden Shed

And the unmistakable fragrance of a rarely made-up bed.)

Now boudoir-colour is pretty pink, with hints of purply-mauve,

And little itsy-bitsy things from some girlie fairy-grove.

There are roses on the wall-paper and the sheets are palest pink

And the wind-chimes in the corner give a feminine little chink.

There are tinsy bits of underthings thrown casually on a chair.

(I'd try that too, but oh my dear, you should see my underwear!)

There's perfume sprayed on everything, all of it flower-based,

And nothing flowery-bowery is allowed to go to waste.
*

Now, does a male delight in this? Does it make him feel more male?
Or does the pretty-pinkness make him shudder and turn-tail?
"An unnecessary question!" ( My readers speak on cue.)
"Anything at all will do!
 He's not looking at the view!'

THE GREAT WORLD

Great big buildings! Grown-up toys!
Quite a thrill for little boys!
Mum and Dad went to HongKong
And they took their little sons along.
Is it a thrill that they'll recall
When buildings shrink and they are tall?
