The given words:
maverick nimble march cadence
eel turf waxen goad hew vise
Maverick of his own making
Nimble as a young gibbon
From tree to tree swinging
Marching on in confidence
Smooth talker in cadence
Slippery as an eel on turf
Waxen for quick appearance
Goaded for a kill for love
Irresistible to innocents
Who were hewed big time
Into a vise grip unopened
Trapped with his eloquence
Ladies won devoid of a ploy
Deserting their man willingly
Under the spell of a playboy
They succumbed unwittingly
For Mindlovemisery's Menagerie #30 and
Magaly's Open Link Mondays at Real Toads
Ah .. those playboys.. always the same
ReplyDeleteand don't realize the mistake they make until it is too late
ReplyDeleteA trap best avoided
ReplyDeleteActually I've known two of these when I was much, much younger. I've lost track of both now. Your vise grip brought two images. I believe you meant a bench vice and not the tool, 'vice grip'. It flows nicely Hank, I had my eye on him all the time, for sure not envying his tactics.
ReplyDeleteI think the tool was a 'vise grip', sorry I didn't mean it be a pun.

Yes, I went to the on-line dictionary to check. There was a bench 'vice' and a tool 'vise'. Thanks Dr Jim!
DeleteHank.
Ah ... what a man ... reminded me of Bart Garrett ... the Maverick ... loved that naughty man!
ReplyDeletehmm tough choices
ReplyDelete"Maverick of his own making

I will have this imagery swimming in my head for days...
What a clever post? enjoyed the read especially as you only had a certain amount of words to use.
ReplyDeleteWell written Hank/
I hope my daughters stay away from him!
ReplyDeleteThe nerve of him!
ReplyDeleteWell done Hank great use of the words.
ReplyDeleteThose opening line were brilliant really captured the character! When I was 12 I fell for one of these guys (first crush) learned my lesson and from then on only nice boys for me!
ReplyDeletei have known a few of these slick characters in my day....
ReplyDeleteand you captured him well....
What a vise! Just the thing to help bored ladies lose their wits--unless a good friend extracts them. Fun.
ReplyDeleteThose playboys are sure a charmer for the unwitting ladies ~ Good one Hank ~
