I'm going to commit the heinous crimes of a multiple post and a vacuous poem for two reasons.  One because its Christmas, and two to balance the dismal subject of my other post.  This was something I wrote a while back (a different time, place and person .. lol) .. its meant to be funny .. but I realise it has the potential to offend just about everyone  .  It's not meant to; so .. any schoolgirls, cheerleaders or Xena's can mail me to discuss the finer points if they so wish ..

(Special note to Brad: "please don't delete it")

(Hey I forgot about the US and your trigger happy attitude to lawsuits - on second thoughts delete it if you feel I need protecting Brad !)

              ~

One lazy sunny afternoon
Basking naked in the sun
Soft hands gently closed my eyes
She breathed "Guess who hun" ..........

~

A dilettante of the art world
Or a waitress in the bar
A plastic soulless model
Spreadeagled on a car?
An intellectual highbrow
Or a Lady of the Blood
An empty headed cheerleader
Constantly misunderstood?
A pouting sulky schoolgirl
With sex in every curve
Or a chorister in chapel
Full of godliness and verve?
A prim and proper legal sec  
Passions buried deep
But under all those business suits
Her body makes you weep?
A political aspirant
With voice as silk as honey
Or maybe from Wall Street
Mesmerised by money?
A prostitute in Soho
Or a beggar in New York
A Queen in Costa Rica
Or a lass from County Cork?
A president's assistant
An expert on cigars
Or skilful on the blow-job
Creating glass and jars?
Something quite dreadful
Like a monster or a fan
An alien or a black witch
Or worst of all - a man?
Could you be my Lucy
So vulnerable yet strong
A warrior of beauty
Is to want you very wrong?
Are you like a cheetah
Lithe and sleek and fast
Or is it an elephant
Grey and old and vast?
I rather think a paradox
Is what you are my love
Let free into a hostile world
Like Noah's little dove?
An angel or a devil
A traitor or so true
Lustful or so very chaste
Which one dear is you?
I will never see your face
Be it smooth or lined
I am satisfied to know you
Through your effervescent mind.
Despite our small acquaintance
And meaning no slight or unkind cut
One thing I'm certain you are not
Is an average AOL slut.

Hey, are you saying I'm trigger happy with the delete button?  Are you saying the POWER of being a moderator has gone to my head (and everyone else is whispering, what power?)?  What are you trying to say?  If you don't respond I'll delete you or perhaps I'll just do some editing on this poem and make it uninteresting and unenjoyable -- the opposite of what it is now.

There's a playfullness here that I enjoyed very much.  Keep it up!!

Mutiple poems really just hurts you and your poem. They're a very sensitive lot.  Poems, of course. It doesn't bother me whether you wish to throw your babies into the world without the care and attention that they deserve -- each one desperately wants to be read without competition from siblings.  Can't you hear them crying?

P**
this is hilarious..... who is this ponderous creature? and furthermore, why do you feel the need to take a stab at america's president?  lol... i know he's, well, okay, he's a pervert, but that hasn't effected how he manages the country.  otherwise, i want to know who your AOL slut is, or else!!!! lol funny funny poem, and trust me, i don't think that there is an excess of cheerleaders here to be offended.  (i've got quite an email to write to you about that)

Philip:

Again, you're killing me! ROFL etc., etc., etc.  You even got Brad to take a break from his hiatus!  (Where've you been, Brad?)

I agree with you Roxanne.  He would of screwed the country up with or without Monica.  But what so wrong with men, Philip (just kidding).  Very funny.

Loved it....funny stuff...excellent story as well. I personally think that this is something that could make it into print if "fine tuned and trimmed" a little (or at least I'd love to see it in a magazine....preferably with pictures to go with the poem  ) ANyways thanks for the laugh, I needed it. Take care,
Trevor
