Be Careful What You Wish For

December 7, 2007 by Shirley Allard

A Friendly Visit by William Merritt Chase

I come in desperation
My pride is in a shamble
To ask you to back off a bit
Is too much of a gamble

He paints you perfect, in his mind
He paints you in my place
He paints you in his dreams at night
On me, he paints your face.

I know he’s asking Santa
To plant you ‘neath a tree
But that, my dear, is on my list –
As the perfect gift from me.

I’ve heard it said that irony is best served cold. I’m surprised these ladies aren’t even more securely bundled against the ice.

WOW, Shirley. how very “catty”. I love it. Great twist and really fun to read though it is heart heavy it still stays light.
