A fairytale night out

Collaboration with Poetic Justice, whose original idea was a fairytale night out..with a hint of modern day living..

Your chariot awaits, the engine is running

Late for the ball, although you look stunning

 

All men are merry, the streets are amass

All eyes upon you, and your shoes made of glass

 

The music is playing, your entrance is made

All the fair maidens, you’ve put in the shade

 

Minstrels strike up your tune, youre walking on air

alluring all knights, come, dance if you dare

 

C'mon noble sires, get you backs off the wall

Does medieval etiquette block out the siren's call?

 

Ladies are laughing, as jesters amuse

Gentlemen dueling, because of cheap booze

 

Midnight is nearing, it's time to depart

Call for a cab, before you fall apart

 

Peasants and wenches flow out of the hall

Singing and clinging, their lovers enthral

Shouting and pouting, and mailing by phone

Lecherous images few would condone

But you've done all right, or so it seems

Pulling a jouster, the man of your dreams

Sadly turns out all talk and no trousers

Stumbling home past mud 'n' straw houses 

What's a damsel to do in such challenging times?

Come here my lovely, we'll express it in rhymes

This is very entertaining, I quite enjoyed it. I don't know who your collaborator PJ is, but you two have done a fine job with this. I can almost see myself there watching, the fly on the wall.

A fantastic collaboration I hope this partnership doesn't cease you two clearly are two halves to the same mind such dare I say it "poetic justice" the medieval twist with modern circumstances is very imaginative and you both share a quality narrative and paint a very effective vivid picture of a night out well done guys please keep them coming
