qms commented on the word penuche
The tattooed lady is a visual treat,
Painted in colors from head to feet.
She'll do the hoochie coochie
For a handful of penuche
And give you moving pictures for a sweet.

Does penuche really rhyme with coochie, or are you just fudging?

Forgiveness he'll not find begrudged
Though Bilby has too harshly judged.
It's really quite awful
To imply I might waffle.
I swear not a rhyme has been fudged.
I have actually eaten this stuff, although I didn't know its name. I have thought of it as vanilla fudge or butterscotch fudge. I learned yesterday that it is indigenous to my native New England. I thought at first it would be pronounced puh-NOOK, but I was wrong. I must go find some so that I can address it by its proper name.
