Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

At Any Rate

At any rate, she knew she wasn’t alone
With both the baritone and guy with the trombone
‘Twas hard to tell wearing the blindfold
Which was holding onto the bricks of gold
She decided to have fun and play along
Drew the line at joining their silly drinking song
She found herself lounging on a bearskin
And in a crinoline feeling quite feminine
So far the sideline was odd yet somewhat divine
When she recalled needing to catch a flight by nine
No time for shopping in spite of having gold to blow
At any rate, she had a plane to catch and had to go

Carolyn Devonshire August 22, 2018 at 6:40 AM Line, I read this several times to get the full effect. You kept me guessing but I couldn't shake the feeling that the woman was in Las Vegas, blindfolded of course, and knew her time to leave was approaching. Very interesting! Enjoyed picturing her in the crinoline on the bearskin rug, trying to remember if she was with the baritone or the guy with the trombone. Congrats on a great win in Brian's contest. Hugs, Carolyn Line Gauthier August 22, 2018 at 7:14 AM Been there often enough to confirm that Las Vegas is a most likely background for this one for sure. LOL - thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Carolyn.
