What I Like About You
By Bob McAfee
You look good enough
Something about your smell
Warms my cockles
🩷🩷🩷
I can’t remember
Before you came around
What there was to like
🩷🩷🩷
You taste like lemon soda
I like all my soda
Especially lemon
🩷🩷🩷
You wear your dress well
You wear your undress well
I like the shape of your feet
🩷🩷🩷
When we dance you step
On my toes I don’t mind
The inconvenience
🩷🩷🩷
When winter comes haggling
You share your stash
Of potatoes and onions
🩷🩷🩷
