Danger Lurks

DANGER LURKS My muse is somewhat brazen and always most fearless Yet takes no heed to my countless calls, I am scared, Wanders the empty streets of the City, quite gearless No mask has she with her, police angry, had dared, Them, oh my in danger, silly muse has been earless, Faced hovering criminals, pleaded, wrote SMS, am spared!

It is great to look on the funny side of things, especially in these troubled times, Jenny! Seems like some muses can be quite stubborn:) Congratulations on your fine win. ~ Warm regards & Hugs // paul

Mine is terribly stubborn and quite cheeky Paul, but she is good, so we do have a certain level of understanding. Warm regards and hugs, Jenny.

Jennifer, you seem pretty fearless to use 'fearless' as your first rhyming word! You pulled out two other great rhymes, told a scary but amusing tale, and pulled it all together for a win. Congratulations! ~ John

Thank-you Lindsay, my muse is so somewhat obstinate, maybe this was a lesson for her, quite the opposite to me, that is why we probably compliment each other! Blessings Lindsay, Jennifer.
