The humidity was stifling
Her hair was quite the mess
Sweat dripped from her lashes
Down her cheek, onto her dress
She tried her best to hide it
This was not her usual style
Always cool and collected
She was becoming more hostile
The doorman glanced, curiously
After all, she wasn’t at her best
“You look very lovely today.”
“Surely, sir, you must jest
I’m saturated, like a sponge
Your pleasantries are inane
I’m soaked right through, can’t you see?
From standing in the rain!”
A sky as blue as the lady’s eyes
Not a single cloud could be seen
But, he opened up his umbrella
After all, she was the Queen

Inspired by Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway, who is currently in the editing stages of her book!
Mischievous little dragon
Made his way onto the chair
On the desk, the author’s writings
Spread out, without a care
He wondered if she’d notice
If he added a line or two
But dragons don’t know how to write
He pondered, what he should do
Deciding he should try his hand
At a sentence, here or there
With a mighty breath, he blew
Now there’s fire, everywhere!
Whatever shall he tell her
When Mistress sees the mess
“I tried to fix your manuscript
I really must confess!
These scribbles made no sense to me
All I saw were smudges, nothing greater
So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing
I’m sure you’ll thank me for it later!”

Something is terribly wrong here
When I look I can’t see a thing
It’s more like a kaleidoscopic swirl
With colors that dance in a ring
Maybe I’m not using them right
I thought this would be so easy
But all they keep doing, is dripping
This whole thing is making me queasy
Then I heard someone yell to me
Something about being a dope
Now I realize exactly why
I’m using a Popsicle, as a periscope
