The damsel’s, <br /> quiescent buds were bursting in bloom, <br />“shall I take these buds away”, <br />said the audacious frosty knave, <br />“No leave me alone, <br />Till my blossoms have grown” <br />Orisoned the damsel in distress, <br />As she oscillated from head to toe. <br /> <br />The damsel grew up, <br />And bloomed and groomed, <br />And all the world was aghast, <br />“shall I take the buds away”, <br />said the intrepid dandy as he swung, <br />“No leave them alone <br />till I have bloomed to the full”, <br />said the damsel, <br />as bashful as a schoolgirl, <br />and delicious as forbidden fruit. <br /> <br />Now the damsel bore flowers, <br />As fruitful as Egypt, <br />Both crimson and white, <br />Glowing brightly in the summer’s sun, . <br />Said the handsome chivalrous Prince, <br />“May I now----“ <br />“Yes, Yes---take them all, <br />Am all for thee, ” <br />Said she, <br />Smiling delectably, <br /> while she let down her tresses, <br />Gracefully and avidly, <br />To a benediction-, <br />Till the golden canopy of the evening sun, <br />Enveloped them, <br />And they lived, <br /> happily ever after.<br /><br />ANJALI SINHA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-they-lived-happily-ever-after-5/
