Simply Snickers prompt ~ boot bid blame

Diamond raindrops on roses
And sharp whiskers on kittens
Bright coloured metals
And warm fluffy mittens
Wild songs that spin with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my night-life things
~
Gals in black dresses
With red velvet flashes
Stardust that sings
On my lips and eyelashes
High boots that slink to sensual strings
These are a few of my night-life things
~
When some dog bites
When some bee stings
When I'm feeling bad
I simply blame my night-life things
And then I don't feel so mad
~
Black suited bankers
And sly politicians
Bid me to slump
Into humble submission
Beauty is bought for a cash-flow fling
These are a few of my night-life things
~
But when the dawn breaks
When the day wakes
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember a promise of spring
And then
I try to feel glad

Gemma, this entire piece is amazing! in some way, it depicts a sad, desperation; but it's crazily humorous as well! i haven't been a visitor at your site often but i get a sense of your 'seriousness' and so, this piece is definitely a 'jump' for you! and a great one, i'd say! i like how you used 'my favorite things' as a starting point and wove verses into it...the line 'Beauty is bought for a cash- flow fling'...brilliant!
first off,, "my favorite things" is one of my feel good songs so you know i love the reminiscence this post bears to it.. secondly i am so a fan of old odd shoes,, in fact i have two framed and on the wall of my entrance way...
this was a delight and filled with my favorite things!!!!!
So well done . . . . and I SIMPLY love the artwork!
Thanks for participating at SIMPLY SNICKERS.
Blessings,
Linda
