PERILS
OF CHRISTINE by Granny Annie
Christine
enjoyed her youth
Safe
from city swarms
Enjoying
sibling fun and pranks
Wrapped
in family arms.
As
Christine became an adult
She
began to feel regret
That
as much as she had fun
She
hated the toil and sweat.
Hard
work became what she
Saw as her grave plight.
Daily
hostility grew as she
Was
wooed by the city light.
No
one would have guessed
That
in sweet Christine's prime
She
would be captured for
Committing
a terrible crime.
They
reduced her sentence
After
she was caught
If
she would agree to become
A
Time Machine astronaut.
Her
first assignment was
Debunking a prophecy
About
a man becoming a wolf
In
the 11th century.
She
lived an exciting life from
Rich
lady to adorable beggar
She loved the 19th century
When she acted as a bootlegger.
The
17th century Salem Mass
Was the final direction of Christine
Bringing time travel to an end
A condemned
witch on the guillotine.
This is really good. I read these often but have yet to participate.

Big, big smiles. River was telling me the prompts were dark this week, but you have proved that fun can be had.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Ghoulish at the end. It has been said that little if any pain is felt when one's head is chopped by the big G, but no one will ever know if it is true or not. I believe the Axe would be far more terrifying. Poor Christine. Great poem.
