Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf




Dverse


two little wet hens
sitting on a fence
one said do
the other said dont
one said leave
the other said stay

oh my oh my
deliberate or die
is this what it's like to be
a gemini

dillying and dallying
to -ing and fro -ing
like the crazed libran
he loves me
he loves me not
pie in the sky
doing her balancing act
until an aries comes along

dragon breath and fire balled
cutting swathes and rumbled foot
huffing and puffing
i will blow your house down
said the big bad wolf

then it's easy
everyone outta here
run for your life

    I know that gemini and libra are supposed to be the most compatible signs for each other..Aries and Librans clash...if one can believe all of this stuff:)

    Well, I suppose the options are limited at that point. We Arians are a nasty bunch.

    A fun way to convey truth of some people's behaviour.

    A once the big bad wolf comes there's no more dullying and dallying --- all united. Had fun reading your poetry.

    I love your light-hearted approach to the prompt. Not much of a to-ing or fro-ing kind of person, but I have experienced them!! When the wolf comes, everyone seems to be on the same page. Smiles.
