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.
