Free Write Week 9

Another poem-I like writing them more than short stories

Cindermanly

Fix the sink, cut the grass, feed the dogs

Honey do this, sweetie do that

No going out to the bar tonight there are still chores to be done

When did I become Cinderella?

No ball for me, no mice, no pumpkins, no prince

All I want is a night out with the boys, Fairy godmother

Bring your magic wand, bring your furry friends

Do all my chores, but don’t tell my wife

No bows, no dresses, no singing critters please

I am a man after all

When the clock strikes midnight I won’t be home

I’m going out tonight, Fairy godmother

No evil magic on me

No curfew for me, because

I am a man and not Cinderella

I don’t want Prince Charming or a castle by the sea

My happily-ever after takes me to a faraway land

A land where a man can be a man

A place where I belong

Where I can smoke, drink, and best of all

No chores in Never, Never land

No wife, no kids, no job

Just a man being a man doing manly things

Please Fairy godmother

Make an exception tonight and help Prince Charming escape from the Ball (and chain)
