So many times she would walk by that jar
The one they kept hidden, near the trees
And though they told her never to touch it
She did exactly what wasn’t meant to be
Quickly, gathering the jar, in her hands
She ran off, beyond her home and her kin
Sitting down, for just for a mere moment
Mesmerized by the light, emanating within
Curiosity, got the better of her, poor girl
Needing to know, if the fire would grow
Opening the lid, without warning, it flew
Escaping in the forest, as fast as it could go
A look of surprise came across her face
When she realized what she had done
The light of day, suddenly began to glow
From a jar, in the forest, of the rising sun
January Writing Prompt – She did exactly what she was told never to do – Day 27/31

Her fishnet stockings, were a very nice surprise
As she could surely see, by the look in Santa’s eyes
She decided on the red, of course, his favorite shade
He didn’t care for the black, so, very nicely played
High heeled shoes, the highest, completed the style
She knew he’d stay right there, even for a little while
With Christmas Eve upon him, she only had one chance
She batted her eyes, and winked at him, with a sexy glance
That was all she need do, he caved into her, his vice
All he needed to know, was if she’s naughty or she’s nice
Why Santa, I’ve been a naughty girl, she shyly told him so
I’d love to show you how, but I know you have to go
Poor guy, he sighed aloud, for he knew she was quite right
He had to pack the sleigh, and get ready for the night
Now don’t worry, kiddies, Santa hasn’t broken any laws
The legs inside the stockings, belong to Mrs. Claus
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVERYONE!

Suddenly, to my surprise
I saw the strangest pair of eyes
And then I saw another two
I didn’t know what I should do
And while I was quite flabbergasted
The horror, thank goodness, hadn’t lasted
When I realized what they were
Two ostriches, I can concur
Writing Prompt: Flabbergasted – Day 3/31
