Teenage dream

Beautiful feisty and famous
Submissive to all our desires
No-one could possibly blame us
The lady lit all of our fires
So sultry and wanton, delicious
Each feature a perfect delight
Her lips were so red and lubricious
Her promises kept every night
All of my friends felt the same then
A spell was cast over us all
Attracting the cocks like a game hen
The poster on everyone’s wall!
Author notes
Any poster, any generation, doesn’t matter …
Just for a change I’ll put something about form here
All in trimeter alternating male and female rhymes
And this bit thanks to Mairi who checked what I had written rather than what I
thought I had!
dactyl-dactyl-trochee
amphibrach-amphibrach- iamb
dactyl-dactyl-trochee
amphibrach-amphibrach- iamb
amphibrach x3
amphibrach-amphibrach- iamb
amphibrach x3
amphibrach-amphibrach- iamb
dactyl-dactyl-trochee
amphibrach-amphibrach- iamb
amphibrach x3
amphibrach-amphibrach- iamb
I can’t believe it is a form with a name but for those who remember old songs
think
“My bonnie lies over the ocean …”
