Poor Grace

She walked around in silk and lace And looked as if she owned the place. The haughty lass tripped down A heel caught in her gown She went all crimson in the face. ------------------------------------------ 26th July, 2016 Contest: Crimson Sponsor: Royal Ninja

I agree w/Laura. The title flows w/poem, which btw is a mighty fine limerick poem. I am intrigued by the double meaning of the title. The name Grace is obvious, but the manner of refined women, being graceful and such ... there is the subtle genius in this poem. Brilliantly done, Paul. Much love to you, bro.

So clever! Everyone loves it when a "haughty lass" gets a little "down sized"!:)

Thank you Chris:) I still feel somewhat sorry for her, even though she's haughty! I think she'll behave differently next time:) Regards // paul
