Behind Beelzebub's Backyard
'Make mine mink,' said the Minotaur
Puffing out its chest as the quarry grew closer
Whistling the theme from Allegro Barbarosa
And scraping runic patterns on the well-worn floor
'Strike me pink,' was the virgin's cry
Shuffling her feet as her suitor sang sonnets
Pulling at the plumes of her two best bonnets
And greeting all advances with a well-formed sigh
'Drawn a blank' said the portraitist
Huffing on the paint as his subject turned over
Looking for repeats showing Anna Kournikova
And rubbing out the etchings with a well-wrung wrist
