KISSES!

Last week
my face was smothered in kisses.
YES - KISSES!
First there was the dribbly-wibbly kiss
when Mum slurped all over me
like an eight-mouthed octopus.
("There's my favourite boy!")
Then there was the lipstick-redstick kiss
when my aunt's rosy lips
painted themselves on my cheeks.
("Isn't he so handsome!")
Next came the flutter-eye, butterfly kiss
when my girlfriend smoochy-cooched
and fluttered her eyelashes at the same time.
("OOOOOOOOOOOOH!")
After that there was the soggy-doggy kiss
when our pet Labrador Sally
tried to lick my face off.
("Slop! Slop! Woof!")
Following that there was the "watch out here I come" miss kiss
when my little sister aimed for me
but missed and kissed the cat instead.
("UUUUUUUUURGH")
then there was the spectacular-Dracula kiss
when my cousin Isabel leapt from behind the shower curtain
and attacked my neck
("AAAAAAAAAGH - suck!")
Of course there was the "ssssssh don't tell anyone" self kiss
when I looked into the bathroom mirror
and kissed myself. (Once was enough!)
But the unbeatable, second to none, zing-dinger of a kiss
came from Gran.
It was lip-sucking, cheek-plucking, Donald Duckling
SMACKEROONY OF A KISS. (She'd forgotten to put her teeth in!)
