Love in the Time of __Leprechauns___
(my choice)
They'd dance the night away
They'd trip you up any day
How were they in lover's lane
Peak in? Beat you with a cane
For sure they kissed and kissed
And kissed some more, never missed
Mustn't peel hat, pants, or dress
Green masquerade always fresh
With a cuppa Irish brew
They'd loosen up, let it go
Got things going then, embrace
cuddled, muzzled, kissed a face
Things went up, others came down
Masquerade began to frown
Nothing's changed, same as today,
Let youngsters' passions play

This is a very unexpected take on the prompt, Jim. Lots of fun to read.

ReplyDeleteThere is something quite authentic about these leprechauns--they are not to be controlled! A smile. k.
