Maybe it was a woman that said it. The quoted person wasn't named.

Most of us didn't get it. Zodiac's southern born so his metaphors don't have to make sense. It's one of the perks of being southern, I guess.

The "letters / Of geese" is a weird line.

This is OK but many of your comments contain a more impressive use of language than this poem does.

Much easier to read now. I do wonder how you came about the idea of calling Bush Girlie. Maybe Pussy would be closer to Bush, nyuk nyuk.

They're all real words, words of the day even. Dictionary.com has a backlist of their "words of the day" that go back like 6 years or so. Grab a bunch that you like and when you start your next poem see if you can use any of them. Part of poetry is about expanding the lexicon of language. At $10 a word that comes to $60 please. I'll take cash or check.

And in 2 different languages, ya darn show-off.
Mine is hard to do because it also has to get the rhythm of the music perfect. Yours would have to start something like "Duh a furs no oh well" If you can do that and make both versions make sense... well I'll celebrate your birthday instead of Jesus'.

Lose "eyes wide shut" or you might as well say she was "gone with the wind". I almost feel this would be better in paragraph form presented as a prose poem.

It would be a trip to have them start out in a V and then morph through the whole alphabet.
