Olive Oyl---Trochee

I will be your Olive Oyl Slim as spinach reed, Cling to me like plastic foil; Bluto quarantined Old maids can deny my fame Need I flaunt my charm? Two men fighting for my name, Olive, take my arm! © Contest: Andrea Dietrich’s 7/5 Trochee

So sorry for calling you Joyce, Nette. When I realized what I wrote, it was too late. This is what happens when I read poetry at 3 a.m. Insomnia is terrible!

Nette, I never would have guessed you did the Olive Oyl trochee. hahahaha. I was guessing a few of the others might have been yours when I was judging. This was a charming take on one of my favorite cartoons. A blast from the past! Congrats in my contest.
