Yup

Just having a little fun

artwork by Walter Robinson

Threading inhibitions
through a legal loophole
I impersonate a self assured adult
while in a tailspin of anxiety
or is that a state of turmoil?
in any case

            oh so very civilized


A throaty chortle
from the devil on my shoulder
seems like contraband
sure my blouse stays buttoned up
but my imagination is wide open


Stretching out
on a plump mattress of fantasy
society gratuitously winks
a blind eye at me


Potent and persuasive
phallic symbols sidle up
into my line of fire
so belly up to the bar boys
this prim and proper princess
is steadfast in her belief
yup the time is long overdue
for some naughty but nice fun

That bellying up to the bar sounds painful--and likely to chafe.
Also,, your buttoned blouse bothers me no end; do you have any blouses without buttons--or better yet, missing a few?
I think we can clear up both these problems by changing the fourth line in the last stanza to:
"so belly up to the bra boys." Of course, you'd have to be wearing one.
Admire your work, Lydi.

Oh how I await your naughty to be turned loose on these pages.
I can only imagine how brilliantly you could describe such things
As we love to do when the sun goes down and the sheets are split.

You have piqued my naughty interest beyond repair.

This is one of those that not only fires up the imagination but leaves a smile on one's face long after the last line has been read and re-read. How I wish I had penned this myself..... All Good Things Lydi, N

I think it's fun to have all sorts of things in my mind at a prim and proper buttoned up event. It makes for wonderful entertainment, and everyone wonders why you are so smiley.

[Lydia Shutter]

Precisely! Thanks for understanding the gist of this, KL. I appreciate the review. Lydi**
