PARTY GIRL

She barely has a single inhibition.
Her attitude is not your maiden aunt's,
Since her temperament's impulsive, and her movements are convulsive
When at parties she performs her solo dance.

She never waits for anyone's permission.
Some people find it shocking, even crude;
But she looks quite prepossessing while she's teasingly undressing,
And she looks like heaven's blessing when she's nude.

It's partly the tequilas that impel her
To sweep aside conventional taboos.
She will ratchet homely revels up to Dionysiac levels
As she pirouettes in nothing but her shoes.

It's been known for a provoked hostess to tell her
To sling her hook and never come again.
Sometimes such disapproval will result in forced removal,
But she's popular as money with the men

Wonderful, Bazza! A few more details, for those who didn't read the other thread...

Now let's see if I can dig up how to enter...

Back again. Here are the July competition entry instructions--not sure if the two poem thingy applies this month:

Julie,
the two poem thingy applies every month. 'Poets may submit two poems at most' stops anyone sending a whole raft of poems to them, which some people would do.
One more rule to comply with is 24 lines max.

Great start to the thread, Bazza!

Is no one else having a go at the LitRev comp this month? I must admit I've only just written my entry and the deadline is er...later today (it's 12.35am now) - but all of you in the US still have a few more hours.

Speed dating

I know what I am looking for: tattoos
are absolutely OUT, and piercings, too.
I really like this concept - I can choose
potential mates, with no more ballyhoo
than nipping down to Waitrose. What they say
is so illuminating. I can tell
if things are going nowhere straight away.
...But this one's nice. We're getting on so well
that neither wants to move. I like his eyes,
his voice, his beard, his laugh, his polished shoes;
his overall demeanour's a surprise.
I came here as I hadn't much to lose.
I'd love to find a man that I can share
my life with, but I'm fussy, which is why
I won't go rushing into an affair.
I know what I am looking for, so I
ask one more question. This one will reveal
if we could be compatible, I guess.
He sighs, "I must be honest how I feel:
I'm not a party animal." Oh...YES!!

Welcome back to the world of work, Jayne. I entered two which I could swear I posted somewhere. One was called 'The Fascist Beast' which I thought was qute clever as a concept - Tory Party animal eh?
