Violet was her name



She was vivacious

And just my sort of girlfriend

Short, sassy and single

 

Violet by name

She manipulated me

But I didn’t care

 

A vision to see

A grin spread over her face

Oh she mastered me

 

How I miss her vibrancy

Did she go the whole slather

I’m left vacuous

  1. Oh how I pine for a woman who will go the whole slather!
    I guess the second best is a Japanese bath-house. :-/

  4. "She manipulated me, but I didn't care..." I remember a young man I felt that way about once upon a time. Nice response to the words, OE.

  5. Now this is a chicken and (Old) egg - if you know you are being manipulated does it still count as manipulation! Ah, but who does care if it's all Violet and nice..

  7. She must have been a winner to manipulate you without your caring!

  10. When you know you're being manipulated, and can choose to allow it, is it really manipulation, or just the price you must pay? ;-)

  11. Lovely and enjoying the discussion about when is "manipulation" manipulation?
    I do believe that one can know one is being manipulated and still go along with it ...especially in the context of this poem - when a young man is involved with a "short sassy Violet" -lol :)

  12. Manipulation could also be defined as maneuvering and we all do it to some extent. It can be fun, that not caring, and may be the single best reason for allowing it.
