Rum Punch Love

Sing a song of cigarettes
Of vodka eyes
and whisky lakes

Of cocaine hills
and cocoa mills
Of chocolate stars and ice cream fields

Of Swiss cheese trees
with Chinese pears

Of doughnut boots
and short cake skirts

Of custard dogs
and whipped cream birds

Of treacle lips
and champagne words

Of bourbon tears

Of biscuit hearts

Of comfort pies

Of mourning tarts


Of gin soaked jeans
and half smoked joints

Of fried egg days
and mushroom nights

Of syrup smiles
and orange thoughts

Of melon moons
and mango roads

Of cornflake girls
with coffee skin

Of milk tray men
and milkshake rain

Of red wine cheeks
and rhubarb dreams

Of lolly hands
and lemon feet

Of fondant friends

Of key lime blood

Of walnut rhymes

Of Rum punch Love.
