Riddle

dverse

he has great legs
is clever and talented
has winning ways
loves adventure
is fond of crazy people
does not like red dragons
who use jonquils as spears
all the gals love him
one wants to whisk  him away
to a tropical island with her
it is worth throwing a party
even if he is the only one
who shows up

    I don't know why but I get the idea of monkeys or chimpanzees here.
    Interesting write though... made me a little confused but that is what the riddles do.

    In Russian instead of "get real" you say "go to the devil." And go to the devil he will. Nice piece, Ralle!
