Ain'T You Demure

Ain't You Demure....Challenge She rode in on a buckskin mare, Tied up at Cote D'Zur She sat down by a young cowboy - He said "Ain't you demure." She said,"My husband says 'lissome'- And I prefer that tone." He said," You're prob'ly cenosure, But now you're all alone." "I know you're tryin' for glamour - You was an ingenue - But there ain't no panacea Just say what you can say." Well, this went on for 'bout an hour - Could be sempiternal. The buckskin mare was gettin' bored The heat was infernal. The lather on the horses coat Changed the buckskin's tone It was downright chatoyant As if some rare gemstone And just then the husband walked in As angry as he looked What he did was ineffable That cowboy's goose was cooked. Well, she cooed and purred to calm him down And whispered in his ear. Her voice was downright mellifluous, "Please let's get out of here." May 12, 2016 The Silent One's Challenge
