Ode to Princess Peony (with Nicki Minaj Riffs)

Shirley, Karl & Sarah

As the two-week harvest comes to an end I reflect on the

showiest pony in the field – the peony

 

Lovers wait all year for you to appear only to agonise over

the tightness of your bald head preferring to buy a lollipop

stick over a tight pink nana perm – girl so confusing

 

Take her out and she’s always going to be your drunk auntie

at the wedding cutting the best moves on the dance floor to

a remix disco version of Beez in the Trap

 

Bee beez in the trap she’ll step outside take a deep breath &

feel real high

 

Oh Pee you’re as bosomy as Sophia Loren in Pret A Porter

during a pretend Paris Fashion week

 

As sexy as Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra before she married

Richard Burton for the first time

 

You’re the lingering scents of lily of the valley talcum powder

and butterfly kisses like your great gran’s Russian fudge

 

A bride so blushing – a butch biker in a pashmina – the dude

in white flares – a head prefect going for dux – a secret crush

a quiet lover – that friend

 

Sweet Pee you’re the milk chocolate Bailey truffle of the Christ

mass assortment – you’re the hot-tonged blonde who’ll ghost us

too soon and leave the cake out in the rain

 

Yo man tell cousin Pansy to kiss my ass – until next year.
