THE JOY OF TOMATO
Juice dripping down my browned arms,
I bit into the vine ripened Jersey tomato like a satyr
I couldn't wait to get it into the kitchen,
I couldn't wait to wash the dirt away
I wanted it right then! Right there!
In the garden, in the noon time sun
And I indulged my desire and gave in to red lust,
And when I had finished, I looked around
To see the neighbors, the mail man, the bill collectors,
Standing there staring at me in wonder
And I blushed and hung my head in shame,
Until they started applauding.

I happened to be out on a walk one day, (as I usually do; you know, for the exercise. I like to keep fit. You never know when you might run across a glorious tomato), and as I was passing by this place I noticed a fine looking “Tomato “pickin tomatoes from her garden. She’s the bee's knees! The cat's pajamas.”
ReplyDeleteI said to myself, “look at them fine lookin tomatoes! So firm and ripe for the takin! Makes your mouth water for a bite!) I didn’t realize she overheard me talking to myself; I do that from time to time. Sometimes I get negative responses from myself, and then we get into an argument. I don’t win over myself much but that’s for another time.
Anyway, she says to me, “you wanna try some?”, as she batted her eyes at me.
I was a little puzzled for a moment before I spoke up. I said, “sure do Ma’am!” (Man! She's such a Sheba! I couldn’t even talk to her without sweating through my clothes).
Anyway, clutching them up close to her, she holds up two of the finest lookin tomatoes I’d ever seen. They were perfectly round, with smooth skin, and no blemishes. (I wondered what her secret was, keepin them lookin so good! They looked so delicious. And the tomatoes would make a fine sauce, if you know what I mean! Especially in spaghetti!
“Well why don’t you come and I’ll let you taste one of them?”
I’ll have to admit, if she’s ripe enough to bite into, she’s a total tomato.
I said to myself, “She sure is a fast woman!!!!”
So I follered her into the kitchen. I stood there lookin at them two tomatoes, and while she wasn’t lookin, I took one of them in my hands, (it took both hands you know) and I took off with it. That’s when I realized she was fast. It was two blocks before she caught up with me!
That’s hilarious! Only you!
Love it, Voo Voo!
