The Love Cook -- Ron Padgett

(Poem #216)The Love Cook Let me cook you some dinner.    Sit down and take off your shoes    and socks and in fact the rest    of your clothes, have a daquiri,    turn on some music and dance    around the house, inside and out,    it’s night and the neighbors    are sleeping, those dolts, and    the stars are shining bright,    and I’ve got the burners lit    for you, you hungry thing. -- Ron Padgett
