Poem.

Butter on my nipples

because I am messy

Not because I'm sexy

Don't stare, avert avert

unless

you like butter?

there's more

where that came from

*

Sometimes the butter

is hot hot so hot

it runs down from

nipple to navel

and if I lay back

it forms

a hairy buttery pool

*

if I were a woman

this would be viral

*

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: There are no notes with this one. I have a bunch of poems almost probably just about ready to publish so was just trying to decide which would be best to put out first. This was written quickly in one sitting and made me smile big. So now you can deal with it.

Oh and this song mentions "cocoa butter" and is a bit saucy....so here

    I will never look at butter the same

  • Unfortunately..., you're not. Yeah, I've never gone viral either, other than coming down with flu.

    Men and women and virulence and viva la difference!

    Well, that was unexpected. I'm going with Hannah. But still, the mind boggles. If you don't mind, I'm probably not going to think too deeply about this one unlike some of your others for fear of where it may take me and because I am baking later and with images of butter pooling in navels, I'm afraid it may have an inadvertent effect on my creation and have a dip in the middle. Navel Cake - is there such a thing? Mary Berry - step aside!

  • Beautifully and comically done picture painted with words, Paul. I'm checking my butter for chest hairs before I slather it on my morning English muffin!

  • I just have one question. Why? Now I can't unsee this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I prefer margarine...

    Laugh out loud funny, Paul. The image of the butter pooling in the chest hair was visceral and totally unexpected. It made me squirm and laugh at the same time. This should totally be a Top Story!

    It won't be viral because this could never be a woman...
