Have we poets been a little too serious of late? Time for some levity in the Den. SKdeV

Did ya ever try to focus when eyes don't cooperate? When you waken from a dream and the morning is your fate... For your wish is to continue in the sleep that does fulfill The quest for knights and castles and the dreams there on the hill The search is just bout ended when the fingers kiss the sword Of the knight in shining armor and the title of "My Lord" For Sir Knight has come to save you from a fate 'worse than hell As the dragon's fire does lick the toes of one gorgeous southern belle "Sir Rhett"!!! the valley echoes as the damsel in hooped skirt Redeems the silent forest with this efficacious flirt "Please save me" yodels Scarlet as the "Lady in Distress" Calmly lowers yet the bodice of her silky , lacey dress Then the eyes of this knight flits upon the porcelain of boobs A pair intune, uplifted and inturn makes him the rube For dreams are crazed and fused with loco thoughts at will And knights don't meet with Scarlett at Tara...on the hill But flights of fancy have a way of making light of life Then once again our eyes awake to daily mundane strife. Perchance to live in cartoon dreams that never make us sick Forgo the wars and death today with all the politics. For back to bed with eyes closed tight I try to go to sleep Blot out the terror of the news and search for dreams so deep I look for horses galloping in valleys by the stream I squint my eyes from here to there searching for the dream My pulse is rapid as I spot...the rider on the hill Horrors of all horrors it's Clinton...yep it's Bill The damsel in the hoop skirt ,well she looks just like Lewinsky And the bedroom of these politics has turned my dream to kinky... Flights without a pilot...I strive to open eyes Would rather go down fighting so I say to all good by... Then I waken with the evil grin of one that knows the ropes I'll wait for chance to dream tonight...til then I'll try to cope For work loads wait and people question everything I do But nights are waiting for this girl...in hopes of finding you. � Susan K. de Vegter 2006 �

Reads like a blog--of dreams unfulfilled. Be better once you've had Bill.

Ah yes the devil has his day and leads many astray but the shining knight on his white horse must always be a pure dream that can never be muddied by the evil one. Great write to start my day in a light hearted way.

You certainly lightened us all up with this sasssy and humourous piece
For lovers of Astrology, I have heard that Saturn has entered most people's charts, and is weighing everyone down with responsibilty and seriousness...
You break that surreal spell with this charming write...
Clinton and Lewinsky riding off into the sunset, I can just imagine...:)
