CLXXX - Mrs Whippy

.
One Minute Writer had a topic described thus:
"Kids get so excited when the ice cream truck comes into the neighborhood.
What kind of delivery truck would make adults line up in excitement?"



Mrs Whippy

Mr Whippy vans around the world
Attract Children to their frozen creams;
But Mrs Whippy, with her whip unfurled,
Attracts the men to live their dreams.

Chorus
The women may frown, pretending hurt,
They know where their men are to be found:
Queuing to get their sweet dessert,
When Mrs Whippy’s van comes around.

With her lash that flails and cracks,
She gives them moments to reminisce;
As she raises welts across their backs
Then sends them home to domestic bliss.

Chorus.

Mrs Whippy fills a great social need,
Doing what the little women would rather not.
For an hour the men are her mighty steed,
To be ridden and whipped and quickly forgot.

Chorus

All the men of the town enjoy her treats,
Even the saintly vicar is not excepted.
She doesn’t care who she beats
And all major credit cards are accepted.

Chorus

  5. The last verse was my favorite. I wonder if she has a neat acronym as a company name for those credit card slips...like "SPNKU"

  6. Excellent verse with an appropriate illustration.

    But since when do you need a writing prompt?

  7. Larry: What have you ever written that wasn't prompted? Eh?

  10. Kitty: They are called 'lashes' not 'strokes'.

    Mind you stoking has its adherents too.

  13. You are a naughty boy J Cosmo, Mrs Whippy sounds as if she is a bit of a 'dominatrix' to me, there would be no 'soft serve' from her. :) ♡

  14. If it were served soft, wouldn't be much point now, would there? ;-)
