An Amusing Poetic Royal Offer
Loosely Inspired And Submitted To The Instruction For A Feeling Challenge

Take the car
To the bar
Frequented by many stars
Order a drink
Make time to think
About the emotion
Conjured up by the bartender’s potion
Replacing the soothing lotion
Used treating,
Subject greeting
Avoiding the truth
About mundane school chum Ruth
Suddenly, a disturbance shattered
The tranquil moment that matters
Impersonating a thoughtful rest
Wanting to confess
Explaining crying over the test
She was giving
Examining, wanting a simple living
Dialogue soon declared
Hinting towards a new affair
“I am your true muse
If you choose
And do not refuse.
So, take me home
We will not be alone
You make this call
Me or that wall
Which is listening and caring
To your sharing
As you sit there staring
Instead of looking at me
A Princess with a magical pea.”
As the frog cleared itself from the throat
All the patrons took a vote
Stating, “son, a good mattress you do need
Since the royal, just planted, the romantic seed”
