Can I tell you about my pen pal
Who I am sure is a sweet gal
That writes a lot about her land
But doesn't know I want to hold her hand
Then dance around in a pas-de-deux
And kiss her lips as I imagine her
Grinning and looking into my eyes
And when I touch I hear her sighs
Then wrap her up in a warm embrace
Only see a wide smile on her face
Perhaps she doesn't want all that
But only wants to show me her cat
Or take me to her busy city
While I would like some serenity
By wrapping her up in my arms
By being beguiled with her charms
Perhaps I shouldn't go on like that
As teacher said we should only chat

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun take on the prompt! I like this story a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a pen pal like that, O.E. You made her sound very likeable. When folks ask, I tell them that the effect of blogging is like having pen pals, many.

ReplyDeleteYou've given me the brightest of giggles, Robin. It is wonderful to think about what someone else might want, especially when we are not sure of their reaction... Still, I think the speaker should ask.
