Kiss me stupid ( Poetic tribute to screen romance )

On April 15, 2013August 6, 2016 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In Romantic interludes

Waiting in vain for a public kiss

she tries so hard to refrain

Finding her man so hard to resist

standing out in the rain

Edging much too close to his ego

She knows she must innitiate

He is much too afraid to show

Affection on this first date

In private he becomes predatory

A lion after it’s prey

It’s always the same old story

He wants everything his way

But for her one kiss will show them all

he’s hers and there’ll be no more bids

She now has him pinned against the wall

And whispers in his ear

“C’mon … Kiss me stupid”

Before you fall.

Kiss Me, Stupid

30s etiquette

On April 12, 2013April 14, 2013 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In Now and then

The 30s were extremely risque

But they did it all with class

More civilised than we are today

Yet they still had a blast

There was a code in social circles

And men knew how to behave

Women always wore their girdles

And often appeared naive

Though there was the great depression

And a world on the brink of war

These were times when stars glistened

When etiquette was law.

Best Man

On April 11, 2013April 14, 2013 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In dogstar stories

If one day I have messy hair

He absolutely doesn’t care

If my clothes are inside out

He remains totally devout

And if I talk a load of dribble

He doesn’t argue with me or quibble

He merely gazes at me in awe

And offers me his fluffy paw

Back in the 50s

On April 10, 2013March 9, 2015 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In comfort zones

The 50s were oh so hard to resist

Bright colours all the rage

Packaged food on the grocery list

And living on only one wage

The furniture neat and in tact

The women at home doing all the chores

Never leaving the house without gloves and hat

The tailored suit was truly in vogue

Making the waist look trim

Picked from a swanky catalogue

Seldom bought on a whim

Romance was a night at the movies

Dining out on meat and three veg

He would do anything to please

And very soon they would wed

Life seemed so perfect way back then

All wrapped up in pretty bows

But really much of it was just pretend

Though there really was a Korean war.
