I didn't pull my weight The boss was really sore He said "you're second rate and I won't take it anymore." He continued raving On how I was misbehaving Said my job was not worth saving And so I longed for Avon Avon by the sea I must go back to Avon Avon by the sea When my lifeboat needs a haven When my...

Premium Member ding dong Avon calling
Ding dong! Avon calling it is 1953. Women rush to host a fragrance party. The Avon lady is lying in wait, ready to sell. Ding dong! You cannot come to toe door in your house dress. Your lips will be blood red with lipstick. Eyes are blinking back chunks of mascara from your brush. You are wearing a chiffon gown and diamond earrings. I laugh...

Premium Member Whisper
Avon runs swiftly through Shakespeare's town Stratford-upon-Avon such delightful place Walk river bank a place renowned In my mind's eye the Bard I do embrace. Sitting beneath Weeping Willow tree Medieval whisper I hear quite clear Things lost to time, things we did not foresee Shakespeare's illusory image to me did appear. His beard neatly trimmed his ruffle white Whisper quite definitely in my...

Strolling by the River Avon, I found somebody, Strolling to nowhere, I found a person. I looked at the river, I followed the water. I saw somebody walking to Bath. He was my old friend the tailor. Very well known he was. Near to...

Premium Member Shakespeare's Shade
The shade of Shakespeare is ever-present River Avon in springtime speaks to me Peaceful place where I secretly lament Whilst sitting beneath yon green willow tree. River flows smoothly ere swans sail serene The momentum of time has stalled this day Grey ghostly shadow am I in a dream? Bard himself composing poetic lai. Medieval magic I do declare Whispering voice beguiles with love...

Premium Member The Bard of Avon
The greatest loves and stories are soon lost without a brilliant pen to write the plays and trace romantic tears and evil thoughts that carry through the years until today. When first the Bard quilled page and manuscript on comedies and legends of his time, and then to tragedies where daggers dripped, dramatic sonnets filled with metered rhyme. But most of all he...

The Avon Lady
Having another crisis, and feeling overwhelmed, Kim stared at the bottle, with all the pills, feeling depressed and dismayed, she felt she couldn't live another day… Reaching for the bottle, screwing off the lid, she held her palm out to catch a bunch of pills, Sitting with them in her hand on the couch, she thought, "this is it," and was about to put them in her...

Premium Member Bard of Avon
Tragic the play that tells a lot, Reaching to touch in myriad ways; Yes comic say can string strange plot. Sense words that smudge contrary stray, Hurl senses far in dance and song, Address the feel of such extremes; Keep glimpse on par with weak and strong, Exult the will and heart to whim; So words fashion such diverse space, People that come and...
