MICROFICTION MONDAY
Man in leopard costume warns
'Take the bull by the horns!
Choose the girl for a bit of action
Or endless steaks for satisfaction!'

Words in blue written when I was eleven.
ONCE UPON A TIME
Once upon a time, my friends,
When all the world was new,
I wrote the little verses
Which I now present to you.
*
God of all good things look down
On my garden plot so brown.
Though I have but humble flowers,
Feed them with thy cooling showers.
Though I have but lowly blooms,
Such as daisies and gold brooms,
Shepherds' Purses, Ladies' Smocks,
One day I'll have hollyhocks,
Lilies, pansies, pinks and roses,
Not these humble little posies.
But you love them just as well,
Scented-stock like cowslip bell,
And you'll satisfy their needs
Though men call my flowers weeds.
