Ah.. to swing from a lamppost.. I want to do that as well..
ReplyDeleteBut I bet you really don't want to hear her scream.
DeleteI love your humor and the last stanza. It was fun to read and to think of the devil in the deep blue sea.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I thought fun was the way for me to go with this.
DeleteHow I loved the construction of this piece with each line's last word echoed in the first of the next.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted. It's a mad thing I do sometimes.
DeleteString her from the lampost to capture her thing about swing... clever! A fun contribution.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you really want to see her swing.
DeleteThis is just fun to read. Makes me want to hear it sung. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm singing it now, if it helps you I think it sounds better if you change She's and her to you.
DeleteIf I were there, I'd be singing along!
DeleteDon't worry I'll sing it for you.
DeleteFun along with the idea every thing is always changing.
ReplyDeleteToo true, many thanks for the comment.
DeletePlucking pucker diamonds sounds like a fun pursuit--especially if the one offering the puckers is, shall we say, tasty.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's a proper Johnny Reggae, with his two tone tonic strides.
DeleteI also enjoyed the capture of the last sound with the beginning of a new line. A fun read and I applaud your singing.

Thank you!
DeleteIntriguing lines: 'Right the devil’s in the detail making
ReplyDeleteTaking everything back to his unlit' ~ you have light temper, funny, thank you :)
Thank you, and I love the bit about the light temper!
DeleteClara Petacci, Mussolini's 'mistress', comes to mind... She must have felt the same way...
ReplyDeleteAh, Claretta, I doubt if she was thinking much by the time they strung her up.
DeleteAlways good to leave us hanging..waiting for more..pleat and power back to you!
