WORDLE #125

For Sunday Whirl

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO...?


You didn't pay to change the answer
Only used magic to intrigue her
Made her the center of your attention
Took her to another dimension
Ticked her boxes and rung her bell
Stains on your conscience have stories to tell

    I really like that last line. Stains on your conscience have stories to tell.

    Damned stains won't rub off or wash out will they? It is good to see we went down the same path as I don't feel quite so guilty now. As usual your succinctness is much admired.

    Oh my - giggles and sighs ... "took her to another dimesnions, ticked her boxes and rung her bell" love the final rhyme which just ties up a wonderful poem with a delightful bow - "stains on your conscience" leaving those stories rippling into the distance ... one not soon forgotten.

    The rhyme acts like a salve to ease the pain of conscience. I love this one, Stan.

    Ha! My friend Adam was boasting a couple weeks ago how he has the magic touch with women. Apparently you just tell them they look beautiful. Oh yeah? :)

    This reminds me of the song 'Love Potion Number 9' - only a tad bit more dramatic.
    How many of us would go to such lengths to get the person we think we want?
    There are words to another song that come to mind...
    "How is it you do the Voodoo you do so well?"

    Thanks for stopping by, Jules
