Hisstory

If I had more time to write Oh the stories I would tell The tales of Kingdoms rising and later how they fell Of Princesses locked in towers With golden locks of hair I would tell tales so convincingly my friend I’d transport you there Yes there’d be mythical fables Magical beasts rising from the sea Fairies dancing in the moonlight As you hide behind a tree Yes you would be the hero Rescuing a maiden from a foe She’d reward for your valour With a passion hot and slow The stars in the heavens too numerous to measure would pale by comparison to your earthly treasure Happily ever afters each and every Tale The hero of all my Stories You my friend would never fail But alas I’m kinda busy Those words you’ll never see Because I’m short of time Instead of you, I’ll write of me.

Another witty write Rick, enjoyed very much, you do have the poet's touch (unintentional rhyme) You may enjoy a re-post I did recently referencing the once upon a time storytelling style. Hope you are well!

To place yourself before our Lord , is a mighty place to be. Here's a hand. Come join me. Nicely written. Play: Sloop John B.

Thanks Sloop John. I would never place myself before our Lord. I lack the qualifications. ;0)

That last stanza sure took a 180 ... clever misdirection there. Kind of felt like a parent, or grandparent, reading to their child with a lot of gusto and enthusiasm. Thanks for the escape, Rick.

Hi Eileen, I had written a poem on Covid 19 and decided to post this one instead. There is to much Covid so I though no to posting it.

So clever, your poetry Richard. Although i'd have to dispute your second line last stanza, I think we just have!
