Time to gather in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ Bjorn is tending bar ~ he requests we compose a Ballad Poem. Not the easiest of tasks [ I think ] If you will indulge, I am posting an oldie. Next on my list ~ create the melody! Bonus ** Brian Miller left a comment!!!
Aging
comes with benefits
I have come to learn
laughing at my exploits
few bridges left to burn
I’m a mom and I'm a grandma
let's set the record straight
the matriarch ~ a role model
my vibe is most sedate
A word of caution family
you’d best stop reading now
some stuff you may not want to know
I'll firmly disavow
I’ve tripped the light fantastic
danced topless on a beach
sang karaoke through the night
fame just beyond my reach
I’ve inhaled several doobies
thrice ~ I promise ~ I swear
at times a wee bit tipsy
never the worse for wear
Flashed a Disney cruise ship
“feast on these” ~ as I raised my shirt
lucky no one saw me
no foul, no harm, no hurt
I’ve loved with wild abandon
a few amazing men
if re-do were an option
I’d
do it all again!
