This poem reminds me of when I was fortunate enough to go see Gwendolyn Brooks read in New York when I was in college. I love her language and it's hilarious to me that there's a little Bunny with a Toolbelt in that experience.
Bebe saw my Nasty Little Secret figures and was inspired to write this piece:
~Love Poem~
They met on the net
at the place called Et(sy)
'n she said to him
'n he said to her
what do you like
'n she said to him
'n he said to her
I heart you
'n she hearted him
'n then he said lets meet
'n she said lets meet
but little did he know
'n little did she know that
they both had
a nasty little secret
he wrote to her
'n she wrote to him
where’ll we meet
'n he thought
bar n grille
'n she said no
how 'bout the
cafĂ© aujourd’hui
'n he said no
'n he said to her
'n she said to him
let’s think about it
he thought out loud with
an "awwwww . . . ."
'n she thought out loud with
an "ayyyyyyy. . . . . ."
'n then he wrote
'n she wrote
how 'bout Hollywood 'n Vine
'n he said yes
'n she said yes
'n then he said
'n she said
Will you be Mine?
'n he said yes
'n she said yes
but what they both didn’t
know is that they both
had a nasty little secret
Well, she stood at Hollywood 'n Vine
with a crowd gathered round
'n then he came up 'n looked around
'n then he saw
'n then she saw
a plume of white smoke
'n then he knew
'n she knew
there was a nasty little secret
the crowd parted to the right
'n then he saw her
'n she saw him
'n it was love at first sight
even with that nasty little secret
