LULU'S ANTICS.A Poem by Terry CollettA FRENCH MAID'S ANTICS.Lulu knows the Bourreaus Are out for quite sometime, Monsieur Bourreau had said So that morning. Lulu, he Said, eyeing her through his Glasses, his tongue hanging Slightly from one corner of His mouth, Madame Bourreau And I will be out most of the Afternoon, seeing the sights, Stopping at a café, walking Through the streets, seeing The arts of France. Please Make sure that tea is ready When we return and make Sure that the rooms are clean And the beds are made and Listen out for the postman, I am expecting a parcel, and She had stood with her innocent Pose, with her eyes large and Peering at him, licking her Lower lip and he had put A finger under his collar and Loosening the collar from the Sweaty neck and he had gone With his hands behind his back And she had smiled and watched As he and Madame with her plump Backside walked down the steps Into the streets of Paris. Now She smokes one of Monsieur’s Cigarettes, sitting on the table, Thinking of the time that Pierre Had come last time they were Out and they had made love in The Bourreau’s bed and drank The wine from the cellar and Gone through plump Madame’s Underwear drawer and had Laughed at the colours and Size and sitting back now Watching the smoke rise, she Thinks she will sip from Monsieur’s Brandy and try on Madame’s new Dress and coat and silk underwear And pose in front of the mirror and Give a twirl, pretending she’s not A woman now, but just a naughty girl. © 2010 Terry Collett |
