' Window Dressing (or) Mannequin Lessons ... '(A Material Story Poem (LOL) She had Velvet eyes, Satin lips Silk skin Seamless hips Thread her way into his heart and Stitched his mind up Tight But the Needle Point, was coming Pricking with all its might! Posed her Textile-smile Watched Fabric flow All the Lycra-while Sticking Velcro and Ribbons and Bow he didn't know she was only after Every Scrap of his Taffeta He thought she was quite fetching didn't know, she was just Window-Dressing can't hold the Cushion, when Pins, Push and Shove a man, can't live on just a Thimble-full of love! can't move the heart of a Mannequin your living doll is running around, again Window Dressing He was an honest man nothing up his Sleeve but, he had a gold-band said, Honey, Marry Me ' and he Wrapped her in Furs Draped her in jewels Lots of Cashmere she left empty Spools She took his Tape Measure and Material Cut kept Sharp Scissors for her Designs but He'd seen the Hem Ironed and Sew and Sew He knew the Pattern and which Embroidery to go the last Fringe turn and which Bolt to throw She sat in front of a Vanity brushing her Gossamer hair Basting in her Veiled beauty like no Wool was there to see her Window Dressing To see him Yard-Catching the Collar and Cuffs He'd seen enough ! He saw them thru the Window Zipper and Buttons undone He had to stop the Fashion Show then he dropped his _ _ _ Velvet eyes, Satin lips Silk skin Seamless hips Threaded her way into his heart And Stitched his mind up Tight but the Needle Point came Darning Pricking, with all its might 'Cause you can't move the heart of a Mannequin but your living doll won't be running around again Written & © : 5/1/06 By: The MoonBee Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
