Taste Test

Taste Test

    We watch Moroccan soap operas on Saturday nights. However, kissing is a welcome activity on any night. She says, “Before we stock up on fruit, I want you to taste my flavored lipstick to get an idea of what you like. So I’m wearing pomegranate lip gloss. When I kiss you be sure to lick my lips. Ah, you have lavished me. The miracle fruit is a symbol of fertility owing to its many seeds. But maybe you relish my kiss more than my fruity lip balm.”
     “Yes, the sweetness is in your silkiness.”
     “Now, let me be your honeyed mystery. I want you to guess what kind of lip glaze I’m wearing just from tasting me. Now savor my spice.”
     “You taste like a berry but I can’t place what kind.”
     “My raspberry sorbet is tang for your tongue.”
     “Yes, please get some on your next shopping trip.”
     “You’ve crushed my heart. How could you like the dessert better than my kiss?”
     “Oh no, the sherbet is just an appetizer for the main course which is when we kiss. Then the stars come out like a thousand candles in the night.”
     “You need but one candle to light your way. Tell for whom your wick burns for? This is not a trick question.”
     “Thou art the way, the truth, and the light.”
