Image: Fine grooming
in the morning (here)
given to fine grooming
cutting off the shackles loose
yes.....a rich widowcutting off the shackles loose
first thing in the morning
made to scare off the blues
to present a sophistication
expected of a lady of fashion
finely braided still within reasons
given to fine living
matured in good surroundings
you young gentlemen
she's a lady
and you are lucky
if you must find it special
there are a few essentials
yes, you got it
it's plain to see
if you must know

weejar's at MLMM Saturday Mix - to write an Epigram
- a bit of a cliche at the close hopefully an acceptable epigram
AJ - I followed the breadcrumbs back to your birdhouse site. You should write about Malaysia and your life there. That would be so interesting!
ReplyDeleteI like the grooming to scare off the blues. These days my morning shower is almost a re-birth, lol.
ReplyDeleteFine grooming can scare off the blues for sure. Have a great weekend Hank!
ReplyDeleteI like the rich widow ending, they are a rather large group.

As Louis Prima sang, "I'm just a gigolo, and everywhere i go, people know the part I'm playing/ paid for every dance, selling each romance, oh what they're saying/ but there will come a day when youth will fly away/ what will they say about me? When the end comes I know I'll be just a gigiolo/ life goes on without me."
ReplyDeleteLoved this Hank, and true to the braids motive, great twist at the end.
ReplyDeleteLuv where this prompt took you. Tge sophistication escaped me, ah, but you anchored it.
ReplyDeleteGood Sunday
Much💖love
I turn into another person after the 'morning grooming / makeup' ritual. [You understand.] I also didn't expect the end ... cheers.
ReplyDeleteI need something to shake off these blues. You added the twist in the end.
ReplyDeleteNice. I chuckled at the end.
ReplyDeleteI have the "Not Getting My Hair Done Blues" Hank, I have not gone into a shop for 18 months due to the pandemic. I look in the mirror and see "A Stranger".
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the read,
Yvonne.
Delightful...and I love the ending
ReplyDeleteLove the grooming scaring off the blues. Nice ending!
