0 Pickett Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 "Jean Paul Gaultier" Perfume...or "Landy" Cognac...almost the same descriptions as my syrup bottle, but satisfy at least one (maybe more) of the other lines...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Was one of those Mrs. Buttersworth syrup bottles (shaped like Mrs. Buttersworth...). Probably not right, but just getting things started. Not sure how well it really fits the last couple lines, but the first lines work pretty well Woman's silhouette (looks like a woman) 'neath hat, in one-piece dress (wearing a dress, with the "lid" being the "hat") With hand around my lovely waist (her hands are clasped in front of her at the waist) My hairless head caress (you twist the cap on top...and obviously there is no actual hair on the bottle) ... My blood thereby is spilt (pouring the syrup) ... ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plasmid Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Close, but not quite on the mark. And as you said, largely because some of the later lines describe things that that answer doesn't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plasmid Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've never heard of that one before (so obviously not exactly what I had in mind), but after googling I see that the second of those fits all the clues equally well.What I had in mind was a bottle of soda (single-serving size).Woman's silhouette I trace - they're often hourglass shaped'neath hat, in one-piece dress - cap and labelWith hand around my lovely waist My hairless head caress - process of opening the bottleThen uncouth belch defiles the air - hiss of carbonationMy blood thereby is spilt Wind cries not my name so fair As howls protest a tilt - blowing across the top of an empty bottle at the right angle An uncouth belch could equally apply to the smell of alcohol when the bottle's opened, or a flat out literal belch after throwing down a few.

Question
plasmid
Woman's silhouette I trace
'neath hat, in one-piece dress
With hand around my lovely waist
My hairless head caress
Then uncouth belch defiles the air
My blood thereby is spilt
Wind cries not my name so fair
As howls protest a tilt
Edit: changed And to As in the final line
