The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I'd let them dance and twirl and sing,

For me they'd do most anything;

They'd all be sweet and cute and fun -

They would not be just anyone!

 

My merry men, they'd join the crew

Oh think, the things that they would do!

We'd laugh, we'd spin, we'd stay up late,

We'd take all night to celebrate.

 

And in the morn we'd go again,

Trill endless singing to the rain,

Dance disco moves and Irish jigs,

And eat a meal of ham and figs.

 

My pretty men, they'd do my will,

But never ever have their fill.

Such fun beyond the harem wall,

And then of course they'd bare it all.

Wow, it's an amazing feeling to write something you like in a medium you find difficult, and then see that it made some people smile - three of them enough to reply to the piece.

 

Thank you for the feedback. :)

 

Oh, I keep tripping over "Dance disco moves and Irish jigs" - if anyone can think of a less awkward word in place of "moves" please tell me. ;)

Heh, makes me want to write something for all the wench's in Peredhil's Dungeon. This is delightful fun.

 

Dance disco ....

Hmm. you could find a "d" word for the alliteration. A two syllable word might balance the beat established by the one syllable "morn", two syllable "singing", a two syllable ...., and the one syllable "meal".

If you found something two syllable, soft sounds like "singing" then it could balance the hard "M" sounds of "morn" and "meal".

 

But, as Parmenion can tell you, I'm a dangerous person for suggestions, as I tear things apart in three dimensions. :D

Loved it, Katz! As it was already said - fun, light, and made me laugh. It has movement, rhythm - and for me, brings to mind a feeling of carefree life, one that's lived on the spot, without worries.

 

Really good, Katz - thank you :)
