Petticoats

 

Perhaps if petticoats were pearls

And thoughts were stars with chocolate swirls,

Moments wrapped in petalled lace,

Where tear-drop diamonds hold in place

Bright fairy-wands, of age-old make

Fair magic-wrought, for magic’s sake –

Then I could keep you here with me,

Shut out the worst catastrophe,

Bind our hearts with fairy glue

So I could always be with you.

    I feel dizzy at the thought of stars with chocolate swirs.

      The words just wanted chocolate added – I couldn’t resist. (Who can resist chocolate?)

    so dizzy I can’t even spell swirls….!

      Haha! Don’t get too dizzy – perhaps you need some tea? 🙂

      1. Gallivanta

        Ah, yes, tea. The very thing. Do they make chocolate tea?

      2. melodylowes

        Hahaha! I’m pretty sure they must – I have never tried any, but surely someone has thought of it, if we have! 😉

        Indeed, they have thought of it….https://www.harney.com/chocolate-tea.html Why have I not seen it before?

        Your resources are amazing. Have you ever considered a career in the FBI?? (What is the NZ equivalent to that??)

      5. Gallivanta

        Mmmmm…..not sure. SIS, I think. But they keep reinventing themselves and adding on extras so I am not sure. I dare say I could investigate. 😀

      6. melodylowes

        Do that. Just don’t get arrested for stumbling onto any state secrets or anything. 😉

      7. Gallivanta

        I’ll do my best. 😀
