A man after my own heart

An ‘I want U’ loveheart, I thought it was cute
at first, but now I have uncovered the truth
it wasn’t a gesture intended  to be sweet
instead you just saw me as something to eat
I was totally wrong to think it impressive
that’s you’d offer take me shopping for dresses
to think I’d end up in Topshop was just plain silly
you meant to say dressings and were thinking sweet chilli
you just wanted my arms, legs my ears and my nose
to go alongside vegetables and potatoes
you’d attempt to roast me near anything flammable
well never again am I dating a cannibal.

Hi Anna,

Clever title and witty take on the subject! Some good half-rhymes - reminded me a little of Wendy Cope. Enjoyed!

Regards,
A.E.
