Question:

What do you expect at 5am?

by Guest45041 | earlier

Oh the shame of it all

I saw a maid who was comely and fair

With pink ribbons tied in her curled hair.

Her beauty smote me at my first glance

For to my heart she had gained entrance.

She looked at me and with a girlish smile

Yet in her eyes there was a hint of guile.

As to my ear came whispers of her ploy

For my comely fair maid was really a boy.

In total dismay at my unfortunate plight

I went straight home a dejected ill sight.

To the stable I went, not an unusual course

But in truth Ã¢Â€Â™twas there I kicked my horse.

Do not kick the horse ever again,

'twas NOT his doing which duped you..

As for the girl, now boy,

disguised with such guile

Give him a smile next time you see him.

He's cleverly good at what "she" hides"...

Robert...you would not be the first to fall for such guile. Very funny. I must go now and find that song "Lola!"

just because of reality remorse!

Caveat Emptor!

Very witty.

dark outside the window the street lights are on

roads are abandon with no cars

the house is silent and dark

An enjoyable poem of gentle humor and subtle turns...pity the horse though, but my dog commiserates. What do I expect at 5am? From you, good spirits, graceful humor, and witty language...I expect you to paint a picture. You have never disappointed me, regardless of the hour.

haha, very good, I would just take out the word ill, It sounds fine without it, but with it it seems a bit rushed and pressured to reach the desired amount of syllables. That is, unless you inserted a comma indicating a pause after dejected. Or just ignore me and don't change it at all :)

But really I do like it.

It's so human. I love it. I'm still laughing. Thanks for that chuckle. So sorry for your disappointment. The last verse does it all. I'm still laughing. Sorry to keep on, but it's amusing. Best little poem I've read in a very long time. Star! PS The horse will get over it easier than you.

the horse must represent you because you wouldn't kick a horse in real life.

Animal abuse!!!

Wasn't the horse's fault you were snookered!

Very dry humor and funny!

Thanks for the laugh.
