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.

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
