Boob and Titty
a Yemeian Triple Sachertorte Sonnet XV.
In Vienna, through which flows the blue Danube,
Beethoven once played his pianoforte,
inspired by the imposing sight of boob
displayed while Frauen consumed their Sachertorte.
Just previously, Mozart also played
(his operas were considered rather witty)
but he died quite young and poor so he was laid
in a paupers’ grave which rather seems a pity.
A fellow named Franz Schubert came along
who used to play piano at Franz Sacher’s.
He also wrote more than six hundred songs
which drove his landlord absolutely crackers.
And yet another Franz who used to play
was Haydn whose nine dozen symphonies
and other works were reckoned, in his day,
to bring tough music critics to their knees.
Of course Johann and Joseph Strauss were known
as the ‘waltz kings’ of the nineteenth century.
Their music always added to the tone
of the balls of Viennese society.
You may well ask what these chaps have to do
with the title of this poem: “Boob and Titty”?
So let me carefully explain to you
they lived and played in old Vienna City.
Now Vienna’s reputation’s rather haughty,
but its women are both amorous and pretty
and because they are so fond of Sacher’s torte
they have well-developed bottom, boob and titty.
Franz Sacher first produced his famous cake
from a recipe in 1832.
Though others have his secret tried to break
the results show that they haven’t got a clue.
It’s a chocolate sponge with apricot jam filling
and a layer of dark chocolate as topping,
traditionally served with cream that’s spilling
over wedges that are absolutely whopping.
In the Hotel Sacher I’ve myself observed
enormous Frauen devour at least three pieces.
It’s no wonder artists like Beethoven perved
as the women’s femininity increases!
If the topic in the title’s given insufficient mention,
it’s because I hoped, by using it, to capture your attention.

Author notes
I told you I was working on a 'boob and titty' poem!
Well, it just worked out a bit different.
It was time for another Yemeian Sonnet to appear.

Dear Hugh,

good thing I just ate warm apple cake with vanilla ice cream and some strawberry sauce - yes, I was in need for lots of sugar!
I'd be drooling here, if I didn't have such a full stomach as I have now
Very Yuemmy funny poem dad

Ah, I can't complain, I've often used subterfuge to try and increase my readership and besides, I'd walk a mile to read the line, "they have well-developed bottom, boob and titty." And as nice as that trio is, my favorite thing in life, after Moxie is anything chocolate, though your fancy torte would probably be too high class for my palate...I'm a Little Debbie snacks kind of guy, ask some American's they'll tell you about Little Debbie snacks, they aren't exactly haute cuisine.
Nothing written beats a Yemeian Sonnet, nothing...well, besides, "Moxie, 50 percent off!"

good job
it's very don juan de marco. it's silly and sing-songish, the rhyming is great and the pace and tone is very up front. i liked it. it's not the typical verse i've been reading on here so good job.
