Pretend Time

it's time to play for awhile
grown up girls pretend
not of dolls and of toys
but of life and  pretend joys

you'll walk through my imagined door
i'll act surprised when i see you've arrived
of course, i'll no longer will wear his ring
do want to keep this play dream clean

as fairy tales do go
my dress will cause you to glow
when your eyes meet mine and we taste the wine
the music plays low as we dance real slow
i'll cancel the very next line

now, i'll close my book of lies
of dreams and fairy tales
it's time to cook dinner
i'll be a big winner

although, i went out and played today
pretend for grown up girls
with my hair rolled up on curls

hi honey, so glad your home!

this is a little silly  (a lot silly) and have no clue where it came from

it came from a housewife's frustration with routine.. it's a Walter Mitty type daydream and very well done too!..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Marcy,
  Our lives partake both of fact & fantasy.  When the facts get difficult or humdrum/ fantasies can be brought out to brighten & lighten things up a bit. No harm in that- unless we chose to live there instead.  I don't think you have that problem!  An interesting diversion here, Thank You, David


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!

Marcy~
I love dress-up, make-believe and fairy tales all rolled into one.
A cute look at the ho-hum hum-drum of everyday ....
