Those Little Extras

I convinced myself that I like salads,
but in reality, it's not the salad itself
that I like - but all those little extras
that you add to make it taste good.

Oh, I start with iceberg lettuce all right,
but got to have the garnishments.  It starts
out small, but by the time I add all the
trimmings, I have a salad that I can
barely finish.  

Gotta have mushrooms, pepper, shredded cheddar,
bacon bits, chopped hard boiled eggs,
blue cheese dressing, onions, chopped ham,
and a dash of parmesan or romano.  I can tolerate
a slice or two of bell pepper, and cucumber.

But what would the lettuce be without the
extras ?  Just lettuce.  Just plain old dull
lettuce.  After all,I'm not a rabbit am I ?

But then love is just plain love, until you
garnish it with romance, temptation, lust,
teasing, flirting, gifts, compliments, late
night phone calls, poetry, suggestive winks,
flowers, trinkets, engagements, surprises,
yearning, sweet talk, soft kisses, whispers,
and all the things that cause your mouth to
water and your salad to pale in comparison.
