Berry Picking



I read yesterday was Mary Berry's 89th birthday which got me thinking .........


Berry Picking

 

Would I prefer Mary, I know can still cook

When the wrinkles appear and bits start to droop?

Or would I choose Halle and live for today

We’ll forever dine on fast food take-away

But are hot steamy nights with those lips and hips

Worth being resigned to pies, curry and chips?

Instead, do I allow the head rule the heart

And enjoy a great life of meals a la carte?

Although women may say we think of one thing

Every man truly knows the stomach is king.

Love your humorous poetry. Please attend OMN and share some more poems.

You’re right Martin. My hypothetical musing should be influenced by more virtuous qualities but she does make a mean chicken lasagna.

Right choice! I met Mary at a dinner a few years back and she was glamorous, gracious and very funny. Good reasons to choose her even without the cooking.
