Those Hooded Eyes

Seen in a gift shop in Stroud NSW

MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY

THOSE HOODED EYES

You're not one to show your feelings;

No-one can guess your pain.

You're in a little gift-shop

And there you will remain

Till someone shows some pity

And takes you off the wall,

And hangs you in her town-house,

Maybe in her entrance-hall.

No doubt she'll be Caucasian,

Seeing you as perfect proof

Of the fact that she has artistic 'stuff'

Beneath her very roof!

You'll be part of a 'collection',

And you'll, maybe, gather dust,

Alongside the Japanese fan she bought

And the neat little Mozart bust.

But I know you yearn for Bali,

Or some other Eastern land.

When I look into those hooded eyes,

Then I understand.

A LOT AT STEAK!

Man in leopard costume warns

 'Take the bull by the horns!

Choose the girl for a bit of action

Or endless steaks for satisfaction!'
