Strawberry Swing: A Villanelle
A strawberry, seductive but shy,
Dances alone in the crowd.
Which suitor will capture her eye?
That wedge of lime, he’s quite sly,
And to woo her, he’s vowed,
The strawberry, seductive but shy.
The sweet basil’s a nice enough guy,
But he wonders sadly aloud:
Which suitor will capture her eye?
The brash tequila, he’s awfully dry,
But maybe that’s what will rouse
The strawberry, seductive but shy.
A modest shrub defeatedly cries,
Poor bloke, he’s totally cowed,
Which suitor will capture her eye?
Around them, the flavours let fly,
As each of them struggles to wow
A strawberry, seductive but shy.
Which suitor will capture her eye?
