Tempting Fate - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

Licorice ice cream on your breath
Grace my tongue and put me in debt
Anise lips make me cry uncle
Your cool kiss renders me jungled!

Green-tinged gray, like a lipstick smear
Would you ruin my new cashmere?
Your sweet mudface is mother's grief
Forget the napkin, use my sleeve!

Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry
With bananas, goop and a cherry
It performs well in its capacity
But let's embrace our own diversity!
