Written for Three Things Challenge #M681
and Six Sentence Story using the words
level, shudder, shake and quiver

Come on baby, for goodness sake
Give me some of that shimmy shake
With lips as sweet as birthday cake
I got it bad and it’s so good.
Listen now, I’m on the level
I’ve been stung by the love devil
What you’ve got is kind of special
It’s something I just can’t explain.
In your arms I melt like butter
You can really make me shudder
Then I stammer and I stutter
Sounds like I’m losing control.
First my body starts to quiver
From my head down to my liver
Then up my spine runs a shiver
What the hell is going on?
Legs and feet are very chilly
Arms and hands go willy nilly
Now I’m feeling downright silly
Maybe I should call the doctor.
I hope I don’t sound shallow
Or come across as callow
But I love a sweet marshmallow
Come here sugar, lets make S’mores.

Outstanding. This poem threw me to two songs respectively:
On the Level by Leonard Cohen &
Marshmallow World – Christina Perri.
That was a nice trip Nancy
