Baby animal fur
Cottonballs
Pussy willows
Cashmere
Why did my mind go there?
You said my skin is soft to the touch.
Why couldn't I just be normal and say, "Thank you?"
No, I had to think about bunnies, kittens, puppies, and cotton-y things.
You were being so sweet and sexy
And what did I do?
I ruined the moment.
Did I stop there?
Of course not!
My mind wandered on to
Marshmallows
Tofu
Sour cream
Whipped cream (okay, that COULD be sexy)
I pictured dabbing some and licking it off.
But then, we were all sticky.
Okay, a steamy shower might do the trick!
We can soap each other down and rinse each other off.
Dry off with a soft towel.
Soft...

LOL, looks like we share a mind! I love how you pulled this one full circle
Lol... Clever of you to come full circle with that. Nicely done!!! And thank you for sharing it on the link!
What a soft moment and made me chuckle at the connections. Especially the whipped cream

Hey, I like petting baby animal fur! But cute, funny poem.
Who knew softness leads the mind straight to marshmallow fantasies and shower soap suds? Hilariously relatable!
Hahahahahahhaha my brain does shit like this too. Loved your poem!
