Would you ever try to eat me too? he asked, and she said, No.
If I hadnt eaten someone else, then you might have to go
Down inside my tummy. But dont worry. One Ive eaten swam well.
Now suppose you tell me more about your type of giant damsel.
He went into all the details of Elizners brief sojourn
Into proof that she could never do another thing to earn
Back his trust. Kayte said that Tennyce and Elizner both deserted
Kayte and Bernard. Then she kissed his tiny cheek, and gladly flirted.
Bernard wanted to convince her that her crucial appetite
Wouldnt ever cause a boy like him to suddenly take flight.
But the only proof was in the fact that he had once gone sliding
To her tummy. That was evidence he couldnt be confiding.
If she learned of that, shed want to make a permanent repeat
Of the time when she had used him as a tasty lunch time treat.
I just wish I could convince you I would never be withdrawing
From your love, said Bernard, You are quite the opposite of boring.
Youve convinced me, with your own back story, Kayte said, Since we are
Kindred spirits of abandonment, who share the kind of scar
That was forced on us by wayward partners. Im the one whos needy
Of the means to prove to you that you wont find my tummy greedy.
Though youve been my mothers client here, would you still like to meet
Her informally? asked Kayte. So Alicindra was discreet.
She would ever keep the secret from her daughter, of collusion,
Which enabled Kaytes and Bernards hearts to undergo some fusion.
Every boy whod found a giantess had found a way to yield
More from hopes, than chasing women who had limited the field,
Back on earth, when they discounted all the men without broad shoulder
As unworthy of their love, and spent their best years growing older.
Slimmer men had felt demeaned, as though theyd never get the chance.
Then the doors had opened, as they gazed upon the towering stance
Of each giantess with shoulders they could climb on, who were tasteful.
In comparison to those whod turned boys down, these girls werent wasteful.
Bodies come in every shape and size, and thats true just on earth.
Its unruly to decide that certain sizes have no worth.
Friendly smiles on peoples faces and two twinkling eyes both gleaming
Are the elements required to move to love from merely dreaming.
With so many couples, who already knew and practiced this,
Ambloomes own adventures settled down to royal wedded bliss,
With her husband Lester, now that, on the whole, shed properly weeded
All dissenters from their seats; a move which had been sorely needed.
She might not have given everything that happened her assent,
If shed known about it all. But still she knew that people meant
Very well, in most of cases. Now shed strictly regulated
Use of amulets, while colonists and giantesses dated.
