Well hello there brethren.
Inspiration is a funny old thing, I tend to get it from everywhere, particularly when I am not even looking.
I have a soft spot for a band called Electric Six and the lyrics for many of their songs are just so damn funny. I then got thinking what it would be like to write in the style of the hilarious frontman Dick Valentine and this beast was born.
I must also credit Jen Mann for the final piece of inspiration and her “Hot Little Biscuit” photo for helping me to create the final piece of the puzzle – you can check out her excellent blog and buy her amusingly titled book right here:-
People I Want To Punch In The Throat
So on with the show people, on with the show, hope you like it and for comments please stick them in the box down below 🙂
“Hot Little Biscuit” by David Ellis
No point in putting make-up on because it will melt clean off
Your face is a waffle iron grill with the dial set to argh!
There’s a longing in my loins that desperately needs to be girded
All the fire hydrants you just passed by have now exploded
Are those cargo pants, skinny jeans or trousers that you’re wearing?
To be honest you could wear a potato sack and I’d still be salivating
These emotions that we’re experiencing are really quite revealing
Let’s dance dirtily right after I’ve peeled my lusty self off of the ceiling
You’re my hot little biscuit
I’ve got no choice but to dunk it
Come rain or shine, there’s always room
For a bit of gravy on the side, alright?
The wheels and rims you’re displaying are unquestionably satanic
Turning and burning while I’m yearning for something idiosyncratic
All these crumbs of sin are finding their way in, heading down to Chinatown
You always know how to push my buttons, especially the forbidden ones
If you can’t stand the heat then you shouldn’t frequent kitchens
Firing off on all cylinders is all well and good when nobody is looking
Actions speak louder than words when you’re setting fireworks off in mouths
We’ve bitten off more than we can chew but it’s too late to spit it out
You’re my hot little biscuit
Taking afternoon tea to extremes
With you I can be anyone, I can be almost anything
Baby, you’re an excess of sugar in my bloodstream
You’re my hot little biscuit
A blessing in disguise
When I take you out on a whim for a spin
Delicious chaos ensues every time
No smoke without fire but I choose to smoke only bacon and fools
Giving me all the right saucy, chutzpah moves to take you seriously like typhoons
A rush of blood going straight to our heads, blowing us both to smithereens
I know I can count on you to be discrete until the paparazzi comes calling
You’re my hot little biscuit
There’s no point beating about the bush
If you’re not the one for me
No point crying over spilt milk
But you’re my hot little biscuit
Full of sass, spice and award winning ingredients
Let’s celebrate this sensually unholy union
No matter what the risks
It takes two to tango with the devil
Yet it only takes one bite to go up in flames
We’ll put them out with champagne
Whoops, we’ve fanned the fires again
Why are my mistakes just so damn sexy?
Reciprocation of sticky situations
Personality always goes such a long way
We’ll leave the rest up to gravity

They’re my target market 🙂 Always love your comments Art, they help keep me fresh (and regular too)
Good… because I was worried that maybe you were feeling… you know… not so fresh…
Nope. I’m fresh as a daisy. Ain’t nobody dope as me, I’m just so fresh, so clean. That came from a song by Outkast but it’s still quite relevant here in the canyons of my mind.
and the canyons where the sun never shines… ha!

I like it, naughty and nice!

Funnily enough that’s exactly what I say when I see a naughty biscuit or piece of cake. Thank you for the compliment Belle, it put a smile on my face.
