MAGPIE TALES

DISILLUSION
"I know I told you on Saturday night
That we had a future that was really bright.
But then you were in that satin dress
And you looked a vision of loveliness.
I loved the way it swirled round your ankles.
But here's the thing that really rankles....
Now you've stripped off to your bra
And panties, I can see you are
So much sturdier than before,
When your pretty dress reached to the floor.
All my passion has evaporated.
It cannot be too firmly stated.
I somehow cannot take my eyes
Off those really enormous thighs!"

GREEN BUGGY
When the sun beats down and the legs are tired,
And there's pleasant scenery to be admired
What better seat can possibly be found
Than an old-fashioned buggy that's lying around?
Here's Malcolm, sitting at his ease
Enjoying a sweet, refreshing breeze.
And what better colour to complete the scene
Than a canopy of cooling green?

I admire your rhyming sense.Liked the second one much
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh, your Magpie sounds like the opposite to mine, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteBut that buggy with the green sunshade is just the ticket today.

ReplyDeleteOh dear! I had hoped for a better future for these two!! Great response though! :)
ReplyDeleteWritten with humour. Thanks for the Monday morning smile.
ReplyDeleteIt does give me a smile, but also it is so sad when people are judged by their appearance.
ReplyDeleteAmazing magpie...Loved it! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame when illusions are spoilt!
ReplyDeleteI like the buggy, though.
very good magpie indeed.
ReplyDeleteDear Brenda: Sensing the irreverence which is always such a hoot! "enormous thighs"
ReplyDeleteWonders what her thoughts and actions would be after that blow to the ego. Chicks n' Giggles! That "green canopy" does have a cooling effect; I feel the breeze here in Canada!Thanks!:)
I enjoyed you Magpie with the unexpected twists. Funny but sad as well. Good to find out before the wedding!!!
ReplyDeleteoh dear ---felt bad for the poor lady--made me smile though--c
ReplyDeleteHow funny ... there's a gal that does a lot of deep knee bends and squats!
ReplyDeleteWasn't there some woman in a Bond movie who killed men by crushing them with her thighs?
ReplyDeleteVery funny!
