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!'
