Oh, she had her fantasies alright,
and she hadn’t always thought this way –
about sex, I mean. Now, she could
take it or leave it; with him at any rate.
Over the years she’d learned
to please herself. “Who needed men,
if you catch my drift?” she’d asked
of a friend, who said she felt the same way.
Not a bad husband; she couldn’t complain,
though they’d never been – how do you say,
‘sexually compatible’, and he was no different;
he had his fantasies too...
How he’d like to spank her till that cute,
little rump of hers turned a carmine shade of red –
see her a porn star of stage and screen.
Hers was to live in a house – ‘Rose Cottage’
on the door which, finally she did, except...
her prince on a white charger never came.

Well done on the cherry- richly deserved, as ever. My favourite verse was the last, another first class poem in my opinion.

Love the conversational tone in this one, Tina. You juxtapose the ideas of 'his' and 'hers' very well ;) And I find myself smiling - somewhat jaded already at eighteen - and sigh 'Men!' hehe ;) Well done on the cherry!

Thanks, Magic. Glad you enjoyed.
A poem certainly written from a cynical point of view and I do notice I get more that way, the more years I notch up;-)

Ah, the difference between the sexes, you capture it so eloquently. "till that cute,
little rump of hers turned a carmine shade of red" is pretty darned eloquent too.
