The Choice (a true story)

The Poetry Spoke raffle

Two prizes remain.

The first is a G-string

Of chocolate. Insane!

 

The second's a diary

and calendar twee.

Heh, someone's got a choice.

Oh heavens, it's me.

 

My ticket has been pulled.

I start the long walk.

To cheers and crude comments

I feel a right dork.

 

I could take the G-string

and give it to Izz

who's at the next table.

She'd really make things fizz.

 

But cameras are present

And I've got a wife.

Consider her feelings,

Consider my life.

 

It's a very nice diary

and calendar too.

How can I employ them

Oh what shall I do?

 

I took them in to class

at Asylum Link.

The teachers now make notes

tell each other what they think

 

Thursday talks to Monday

Sends a little letter

Monday talks to Tuesday

This way of work is better

 

The G-string would have been fun.

But in the nitty-gritty.

The diary and the calendar -

ah that was serendipity.

serendipity

Great fun Dave; the night, the moment in question and NOW the poem :)

I think this fits you well, I mean the theme :) As for the g-string's fate,
well that would be telling, wouldn't it? haha

The quality of this prize left nobody in any doubt of our commitment to the arts!

P.S

We're lucky to have the support of such fine poets.. Dave, Isobel, Stella, Joy, Cate (love to hear Taj at sunset Cate...pleeease).

Candy is dandy
but licker is quicker...spelling lol?

My Best

It was won by a very good poet called Paul. I don't think he's on WOL. He was at the Bards on Monday and mentioned that he was so embarrassed by his prize that he left it on the table (it did come in a big box).

Poetry Spoke is run by Chris Co, Natalie and Glenys. So only they know the G-string's eventual fate. Perhaps they ate it.

It was a crap decision you made Dave! What you should have done, was take the chocolate G string and give it your wife! I'm sure you could both then have had a melting time with it... ;)
