What's Going On : FRIDAY WRITINGS # 117

 One Good Reason for keeping a marker pen in your handbag

OR

One Good reason for never keeping a marker pen in your handbag

 


 

 

way back
in  hippy times
a young girl
tipsy
from too much champagne
rides home with a gypsy king
he asks for her number
she produces a black marker pen
from her handbag'
he gently lifts her soft full skirt
 writes on her leg
the walls of jericho came tumblin' down

  5. Oh, Lord, this took me back! In my nightclub performing days, I often wore black stockings, usually sheer. But when I wore thicker blackies, I always kept that felt tip handy, because if they sprang a hole, I would just fill in the skin part with ink. Honestly!!

  6. Oh this is funny! I always carry a pen with me and a scrap of paper in case I get a flash of inspiration while eavesdropping. But never wrote on my leg!!
