The Damsel Saved Herself - Cl

Her plight a tragic tale of woe Confined to solitary cell She cried because she didn't know If folks would ever know her hell One night it happened that she fell It seemed at first a mortal blow... Yet daily she recovered well ~ Released to wedding bells, she glowed January 27, 2020 Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest Sponsor: Charles Messina

Well, damsels are a whole more self-sufficient, more independent than damsels of days gone by. Sigh. 'Princes to the Rescue' will soon have to retrain for new careers! Poor fellows! Smiles, Gershon
