The Ideal Condiment

The Ideal Condiment 
Picture by Manu PomBrol

Upon a shelf in my head 
is a magical store, 
A concept which is light years ahead,
Men who are seasoned, 
For particular reasons ! 
Some spiced with intellect, 
Others bland needing henpecked, 
Some full of charm and wit,
Others just well endowed with all the right bits !
I'd use them to compliment my life, 
Use them only when the situations were right ! 
This would stimulate my funny bone, make me tickle, 
To use a man to complement me, just like a pickle !


Submitted to Magpie Tales where the picture was the prompt

  5. Oh seasoned men, the best kind. This is a very clever poem and works so well with the image.

  6. Ha! To keep men in jars, and use the bits we desire on a whim. Do the good qualities improve with age and with seasons? I'd enjoy a romp through your pantry shelves, Kez. Thank you for sharing this.
