Dutch undies

 

 

 

It's been exactly one year;
they took me trick or treating
and declared my birthday 'New Halloween'.

It was more like a bachelor party,
in an episode of "Days of our lives":
'Drag queen goes regional' was our slogan and of course,

we were all dressed up as gay-icons, with main character - me -
a crossbreed of Tina Turner and Liza Minelli.

Oh, it was fun to see the expression on their face:
they thought I'd be horrified
as I had to skip from door to door with towering stilettos.
However, I did surprisingly well.

     I wonder what they have in store this year.

Questionable giggles echo

through the place they brought me to.

I know we're here to brunch,

but why do I have to wear a blindfold?

 

Suddenly, I hear someone speaking in the distance

with an accent that sounds suspiciously Dutch;

I hope they'll never face me with my phobia for Dutchmen!

 

Paranoid poltergeists play me like a paper puppet

as I smell the dish they just put before me.

the same moment, they take the blindfold from my eyes

and I find myself in a restaurant full of red, white and blue -

along with orange, the national colour of the Dutch.

 

Right next to me, I see a waitress, nude.

All my hair rises as my head is right next to her crotch -

my imagination becomes psycho:

It's like a huge, men-eating flower,

staring at me as if it will devour me any minute.

 

     I wish the blindfold would still cover my eyes.

 

I shut my eyes tightly, then try to concentrate on my dish.

There's a strange smell on it, but I just don't know what it could be.

As I put some of the food in my mouth,

my heart almost stops and I can't help but retching.

 

Peanut butter just found itself a cosy home

and sticks onto the roof of my mouth.

 

    I stand up and as I throb with a napkin inside my mouth

    to get the peanut butter away, I mumble:

 

It tastes like Dutch undies!

 

Author notes

The challenge: last but final round:

my scenario:


You are out having brunch with friends at an all Dutch restaurant that has a menu in which every item/dish is made with peanut butter. Also did I mention that all the waitress served all patrons in the nude?



The reasoning behind your scenario is this:
You suffer from the following phobias...




Eurotophobia ~ Fear of female genitalia

Dutchphobia ~ Fear of the Dutch

Arachibutyriphobia ~ Fear of peanut butter sticking
to the roof of the mouth



Why should I be in the finals?

Well... I think everyone wants to be in the finals to begin with when they start a challenge like this...
and I think it would be quite hypocritical for me to say that I deserve to be in there because I'm better than the other 3 remaining in the competition, cause I know I'm not
But it would be very lovely though if I was in there you know, because that's the reason why I started this (but I said already that everyone has started this challenge to be in there) lol

Please tell me what you think

    This is excellent! It is amazing what you did with that quite weird prompt you got...
    The last line is priceless, combining all of the three mentioned phobias (whoever thought of those names deserves a prize... )

    You see, I quite enjoyed this poem.
    Keep on writing!
    ♥, Ann

    This is so funny, man. I’m still smiling at the end you gave to your story. You also brought the taste of Dutch undies
    I agree with your author note the part “Why should I be in the finals?” it’s always a pleasure to read from you.
    Thank you for sharing your poetic/cute piece with us :-)

    Well, you were talking about this yesterday and said you don't know where to go with this assignment, but WOW!!! This is hilarious, my friend - especially the "crossbreed of Tina Turner and Liza Minelli" and you eating peanut butter with a waitress ....head is right next to her crotch". I would never have been able to think this one out !! LOL, is this how Dutch undies taste like......grrrrrrrrrrrr!! This was so enjoyable and such a creative piece from that very active and imaginative mind of yours!!!

      Lol
      I have no idea if Dutch undies taste like that to be honest but then again, I have no idea how it feels like to have these phobias either so I thought if the phobias can be fictive, the taste of Dutch undies too
      Thank you for commenting my dear friend I don't like it that much to be honest with myself, but yeah
