She said “peddle to the mettle”
wicking screens with soap;
“ Let us chap your lips with trinkets
as knickers twist their fur in thrusts -
I’ll race you past that gnarly tree
where we’ll play lemon squash;
Swear to pigeon me an abacus
and buy a chamber by the vine -
film pennants lance our ripened grapes
‘til this lass makes you mine. ”
