Tribute To Trixie
Trixie takes me and shakes me and twirls me about.
I am helpless, at her mercy, I don’t even shout.
Her ideas are ridiculous, whimsical and fine.
I take out a pencil, hoping I can write down a line.
Trixie is my muse and she puts up with none of my think.
She throws out things in a frenzy; I do not even blink.
I stop writing to draw a dragon, a faerie, a clown and a goat.
She throws on a pig’s face and begins to blatantly gloat.
I am at Trixie's mercy; she gives me no voice or leeway.
I do her bidding, she is flat out ready to play.
She jerks me and throws me and zings me to France.
I dance back to try to regain my soul, willing to dance.
