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

Well…. You all gave it a good go, close but not quite.  Scroll down to the bottom to see the answer.  😀

****************************************************************

I’ve started a new, um, thingy?, on Thursday’s, just for a bit of fun.  I’ll describe something, and you need to tell me what it is I am describing.  Ready?

I’m going to hold back comments til later tonight, so no one sees the other’s answers.   😉

I can often be found hanging in a somewhat precarious position, yet I’m capable of carrying the weight of the world. I’m usually not alone, others can easily find their way to me.  I’ve also noted that I’m good for many different things.

What am I?

I am okay…really – #freeverse – #selfreflection – #God

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.

The Gregarious Gatsby- #MayWriting – #poetry

He invited the ladies to his little soiree
A glass of champagne he had, for all
Dazzling in gold, and silver and black
They were surely the queens of the ball

He was a ladies man, of this, no doubt
None of them could ever to resist him
Except for three ladies, mingling about
They knew the story, ere they kissed him

Money, he’d flash, just to catch their eye
Thought it the way to a woman’s heart
But not all of them, really liked this guy
They, who knew, set themselves apart

They perched themselves, on a table
Smiled, when the others walked by
Watched him, as he played Casanova
Each of the others, he left, with a sigh

But not these three well-dressed beauties
They made a pact, to not become a patsy
Leaving the ball, together, for a night of fun
Seems they couldn’t care less, about Gatsby
