Fifty Shades of Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey By Elton Camp Elvira is a kindly old soul One with a heart of gold The book club was ladies her age Intellectual, conservative and sage It was her turn to review a book For one suitable she took a look “Fifty Shade of Grey” she spied So that was the one Elvira tried “I think I see a real winner there. It’ll show us ways to do our hair.” Reading it proved quite a shock Elvira’s sedate world it did rock With much dismay, she did call “It isn’t about fixing hair at all!”

Ha, ha, ha! I haven't read the book and don't plan on it. I can just imagine the look on Elvira's face as she read it. Enjoyed this a lot! Love, Kim

Thanks for such a nice comment. It was fun to write. I haven't read it either and don't intended to do so, but I was hearing so much about it that I found out what it was about. I posted this poem on Writers Network along with a picture of Elvira when she realized the nature of the book.
