Child's Play
When young, elbows were her fetish
trained a father’s arm to hang limp
and rolled loose flesh
between tiny fingers.
Ear lobes came next
quite annoying really
but never having known abuse
I saw no harm in child’s delight.
Kneecaps are the funniest as they wobble
on the bone she thought and thumbs
are most cleverly opposed.
At navel poking I just said No!
and this was her reply.
‘dad you sure do have a lot of hang-ups’.
