Dinner at Sweeties
Julie Bracken posted a photo:
I had dinner with my sweetie
At her home the other night
I knew she’d make a special treat
At least I hoped she might
She set out all the crockery fine
With her best linen pressed
Silver knives and forks and spoons
I really was impressed
I said “What’s for dinner sweetie?”
She flashed a cheeky smile
And replied “I know you’ll love it
It’ll be ready in just a while”
Well I got a little suspicious
For I noticed that no smell
Was coming from her kitchen
And no food was there as well
Nothing cooking on the stove
No sign of chook nor fish
And she knew spaghetti marinara
Was my favourite dish
The stereo played slow love songs
The candles were aglow
She certainly was cooking something up
But what? I did not know
As she led me away from the kitchen
My hopes began to crumble
When she took me to the main bedroom
I heard my tummy rumble
She set me down upon the bed
And then to my surprise
She grabbed a blood red silken tie
And wrapped it round my eyes
I started feeling worried
This was not her normal behaviour
What could be for dinner here
And what could I find to savour?
I could hear her rustling round a bit
What was taking her so long
I’d known her over six months now
But could I have judged her wrong?
Did she have a darker side?
Was she into kinky stuff?
Well everything here seemed OK
I knew I just had to trust
Then I felt her hand so gentle
As she slowly released my blindfold
I opened my eyes and before me
Was such a sight to behold
She had totally turned her body
From her crown to her toenail tip
Into a savoury sensation
And in her hand… a packet of chips
Well, I could not hold back the laughter
I was rolling about in a fit
Then she held out the packet and said,
So solemn…”Would you like a dip?”
After removing the hair from the pate
To my delight it tasted divine
And she kept a supply of rice crackers
Propped up ‘tween her toes in a line
Well I tried the cream cheese on her fingers
Her belly button olives were yum
But I kept coming back for my favourite
The guacamole smeared on her buns
She’d gone to a lot of trouble
To find all my favourite things
I especially liked the arrangement
Of the cheezles and burger rings
I shared all the treats with my sweetie
Towards the end I was starting to slow
She gave me a wink and suggested
I finish off with a big cheerio
Needless to say…
There were no further courses
We sent out for pizza instead
After sweetie had showered we ate it
Propped up in our crumb filled bed
Now our relationship’s taken on new meaning
As we share in our new found delight
In fact I’ve invited my sweetie
For dessert round at my place tonight!

I’d better explain, that ‘cheezles and ‘burger rings’ are a savoury snack with a hole in the middle and a ‘cheerio’ is a little red sausage.
