This Aint Disney


Bokeh Texture ~ regularjane

Bibbity, bobbity……
This aint Disney….
I’ll cut to the chase.

Mix moon wink, cheap wine
and a cigarette,
with three breaths of delusion
until he looks like Johnny Depp.

Make use of preplanned party favors
when steam rises from flesh or inebriation
mistakes groping for romance.

Warning!

Spell’s possible side effects:
A morning after headache and
spontaneous questioning of
“What the hell am I doing naked
with a troll wrapped around my legs!?!”

Love it, Susie! I love the 'instructions,' the pre-planned party favors, and the ever-apalling consequences of playing around with powerful potations. Second stanza is especially vivid for me, and the ending cracked me up.

Funny and scary both! Going to bed with Johnny Depp and waking with a troll is definitely a nightmare! At least it wasn't Edward Scissorhands!

Haha! Yes, indeed, it's the side-effects one must worry about.

A marvelous way to disarm a troll! (but I think I'll pass.)

... you'll need a towel to cover up that troll! Hysterical poetry.
