Boating with Judy


















It has been awhile since I have posted, and today Victoria has asked us to write something humorous. I took a cue from Bjorn and tried my hand at writing an anapestic tetrameter...not as well done as his, however, as it is one of his specialties. Read more over at submissions over at dversepoets.com.  I fudged a little, I think, by adding two lines, 




In the morning at Lone lake, the three launched the boat
with their poles to catch fish for an early dinner
Derell helped Judy step inside most gingerly
Harold slipped a slim pint of moonshine in his coat
Judy rowed as they passed the bottle back and forth
The men laughed to see her soused, stupid tipsy elves
In the middle, twice as drunk, she turned the boat north
One last swig, up she stood, rocked the men overboard
It was her turn to roar as she picked up the oars,
left the men to be fished out of the lake themselves

    Love it.. A delightful story of a lady turning the tables.. I think they deserved a great bath.. The anapaestic tetrameter was truly very difficult to write.

    Fun one, Kathy. Best not to drink and row, I suppose...or to hassle the rower. Good for Judy.
