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!
