The Marionette By bboog She asked her husband for permission to have a birthday party. He gave her his decision she must hold it indoors. On September 4 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. So she wrote out the invitations and sent them to her friends. When the appointed day came Black heels and dress Were her clothes. Her nylon strings were attached to a wooden crossbar and were hooked to her arms And her black pantyhose. She flirted and smiled, Her new dress in style She drank wine and smoked There were plenty of folks Having fun. No one seemed to notice Her husband, upstairs bending forward, Pulling gently on the strings. Always in control. |

Without a doubt, one of the best poems I have seen displayed here. Everything tied together very nicely from the beginning....her asking permission, him specifying the date and time....all the way down to the last line "Always in control". Excellent writing. |
