The Coquette

THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
http://www.threewordwednesday.com/2010/09/3ww-ccvi.html

'volatile. demure. offend.'

THE COQUETTE!

This young chap's in a fix!

What a volatile mix!

Yes, he is a victim, for sure!

She's reeling him in

With suggestions of sin

While acting discreet and demure!

She's such a coquette!

And I'm willing to bet

He's not the first man she's misled!

See her lower her eyes

In a maidenly guise

As she leans back and tosses her head!

This poor callow youth

Will find out the truth

If he places a hand on her knee!

She'll shout out 'You offend!'

And he'll learn, in the end,

Just how devious young girls can be!

VEGETABLE VERSES


Vegetable flan and vegetable pie;

Everybody likes them! So do I!

Full of vim and full of vigour,

Full of vitality to make us bigger.

Vegetable omelet, vegetable stew;

Everybody likes them! So do you!

Full of value! Full of variety!

Just what we need in our society.

Vegetables mashed and vegetables sliced;

Vegetables chopped and vegetables diced;

Vegetables cooked and vegetables raw......

Though not very easy to sip through a straw!

Vegetable lunch and vegetable tea;

Chock-full of vitamins ABC!

Buy some from the vegetable man

In his very nice vehicle, the vegetable van.

Vegetable this and vegetable that.

Drive your vehicle on vegetable fat!

Bio-fuels of various persuasions

May prevent fossil-fuel contagions.

Vegetable mixtures, of various varieties

Might yet save our guzzling societies.

Verdant green is the colour of choice

So to 'Vegetables! Vegetables! Raise your voice!
