Juxtaposing Lives/ Mis-Stepped Waltz


Juxtaposing Lives
by Thomas

Oh Yes I'm young just twelve years old
I had a dream that's not been told
So shy am I to talk to you
And please don't think I have no clue

When Disney had a tee-vee (tv) show
“When Knighthood was in Flowers” grow
A tale of Greensleeves came to me
Not Anne Boleyn or King Henry

A different legend worth a muse
Have sought but never caught to choose
Fair maiden lived her life by day
One time-line always day's display

Then juxtapose a life by night
No equilibrium in sight
A catatonic parallel
Two lives at once it does foretell

At night a woman dark but free
Collateral iniquity
But every time that I wake up
Return to day the maiden's cup

So onward now the search begins
The golden cup for crosses sins
The castles safe as maiden lives
I seek the truth of what forgives

I am My Lady that's for sure
Two personalities no cure
Which one of us will take the prize
The Holy Grail's (mere) exercise
Mis-stepped Waltz
by Hiram

No twelve year old thinks they are young
No tale exists that's not seen tongue
If shy you are which seems quite false
The missteps here are like a waltz

For networks don't have shows these days
Grew, he means, not what he says
(The song from "How the West was Won"?)
A misbeat rhyme, no joke no pun.

Confused, I listen for the thread
And get this gibberish instead
An owl has never a maiden been,
With night glow face of freakish green

Drag this out please, I'm still unclear
Equal WHAT, you bend my ear
Catatonic pair, there's TWO asleep?
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.

After two wasted stanzas, ahem...
Barely describe – and then condemn?
A dream, that soggy lit'ery elf
The story now is 'bout himself?

Throughout the 1800's west?
If crosses sin, I'll eat my cowboy vest
Though maiden's lives are short and rough
More vague-aries -- I've had enough!

A movie Disney never made
My sleeves are green and disarrayed
Not the one who wrote this drivel
Can green sleeves catch this pointless drizzle?
