Personal Development - First Lesson

(for Keira)

What, said the she-creature

curled small in her innocence,

Do we call your boobs?

Caught out, the intelligent mind

flapped, urgently seeking

the smarter answer.

& her articulate voice

naming the left breast Rube,

its sibling Zube

with the worldy smile

of every six-year infant.      Hands

flashed downward.

If you like alliteration

call him Tube; but she preferred

Ted the Tadpole.

When all has been said & mostly done,

her proposal seems more than appropriate.
