Selfie by Alyssa…who very nicely let me use it for my poem.

I solemnly swear, she said to me

That I am up to no good, this I can see

She gives me that coy little smile

Ok, she melts my heart for awhile

But I know what’s behind that grin

Thank goodness, she is not a twin

I wouldn’t know what to do

One is enough, imagine two!

And when she has you, in her spell

Her kind of magic, you can’t quell

The truth is, she is not a brat

But that really is her silly hat

Seems the t-shirt matches that

This girl does surely beguile

Yonder past the trees, the finest region in the land

Below the mighty river, lies an underground seam

Find a bench, grab your pan, shake it in your hand

Hit the jackpot, then wake up, sorry, just a dream

Poor Anastasia T. Dragon, whatever did she do?
Got herself all tangled up, and didn’t have a clue
Met a nice wyvern, whose name was Christian Sway
Ana never knew that things, would ever go this way

Christian had a fetish, seemed he liked to take control
But Ana wanted no part of it, she found it rather droll
So he thought he would teach her, another thing or two
She thought he was crazy, decided to leave, before he knew

Sadly, she didn’t make it, he caught her on the way
“Excuse me, my dear Ana, I think you’d rather stay”
“No thank, my dear Cristian”, she said, so very snarky
“I think you’re full of yourself, more likely, malarkey.”

Christian didn’t like the way Ana spoke to him
Ana didn’t seem to care, which he thought quite grim
She got the best of him, rang him up for sexual harassment
And that’s how it all began, his fifty shades of embarrassment

Oh, the taste of money, how luscious it must be

I can buy me things anew, but that’s no guarantee

That I won’t find myself, even further in arrears

And that’s not suitable, you see, in fact, it’s rather drear

I am okay
But you didn’t ask
You were too into
Yourself
To even notice…

I wasn’t

But that’s alright
Really, it is
Because I shy away
From false emotions
What you think
I want to hear

I don’t

My self-esteem
Has been through
Enough
I have made
Peace
With myself
And my God
And that is
Why I am
Okay

Really.
