WHIRL #98

For Sunday Whirl: Blessed, Snare, Wings, Unbalance, Ride Deserves, Slap, Gasps, Blue, First, Instant, Dust.

A QUICK ONE



Formerly blessed with beauty,
now caught in that snare called 'age'.

'Bingo wings' unbalance her
when she takes him for a ride,
giving him what he deserves...
A bit of slap and tickle!

She gasps... once in a blue moon.
Has to be first past the post.
It's over in an instant,
and he can't see her for dust...!

    Stan, this brought a giggle to your slap and tickle. Slap is the one word I wasn't able to use!

      I am not sure..but I'm guessing marrying your adopted daughter gives you a unique opinion on it!

    Yup...I can relate to this one! I don't know what Woody Allen said about aging. About death he said, "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

    After I use the words from the list I forget what they are. When someone commented about not using slap I wondered just what list they were talking about. *slap* This weeks!!! I must be getting old. We all like to win sometimes. I agree with Brenda and Woody Allen's quote.

    Thanks for stopping by the short verse the story verse is here:

    Thanks for my morning smile, Stan. Everyone should have a bit of slap and tickle occasionally, just to remind them of being alive,

    Nothing like a quickie at any age.
    Great take on the words.

    Nothing like taking a phase of life
    and imbuing it with great and urgent meaning.

    A lingering thanks for your quickie words,
    Randy

    The first sentence and the last resonate. The first as so very true and the last as fun to read. Those two could be a complete poem. Love them.

      I'm neither young and beautiful, nor (quite) caught in that snare...

    Good to see that us oldies get a bit centre stage. We are just as normal as the rest of you.

    Great quickie! As far as I know Allen said: “Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go it’s pretty damn good. :)

    Talk about your quickies,Stan! Loved the wings... as much as I work out, I can't shake 'em... actually, I CAN, ha ha. I'm digging getting older,though. My dimples have sprouted new dimples, and my frown lines have shadow lines, like phantoms of depression.

    However this gal is working it out, she's in there pitching, so food for her! Nicely done. Amy
