DJINN AND DISAPPOINTMENT
Bought
myself
a lamp, and
Alladin-like,
rubbed its dull bits bright.
Blue smoke! A djinn writhed out!
He bowed, spoke . . . "What's Madam's wish?"
Fast thinker, me! I said "Banish
Dreaded Caddoc to Llandudno, please"
Whoosh! Shed and husband vanished . . . then I woke.
(Followers and commenters can see husband Caddoc down in the right side-bar)
Mrs T,
ReplyDeleteSo much more to the point than mine - but be careful what you dream about!
Yo,
ReplyDeleteAda !
Wish you were
here by my side.
Llandudno is great,
but goodness only knows
how I came to be in it?
I may decide to stay a while,
as complete freedom is new to me
and I could enjoy the experience...
Hope you are happy with what your djinn did! You can always make him undo it :) Here's my Magpie, Blue Genie.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I don't know but it made me laugh so hard!
ReplyDeleteWhen The Lamps Never Light
Tell me, Mrs T, do you find Brasso or Duraglit best for buffing up dull bits? I could do with adding some more sparkle to my life, as I have some brass bells that are looking worse for wear...
ReplyDeleteHad you thought about hiring your Djinn out to the public for a small fee? I could be interested, if the price was right.
But the lamp was still suspiciously clean.
ReplyDeletespacedlaw should scan across to the legend under Mrs.Trellis's picture! I can easily imagine that Mrs.Trellis never thinks anything is really clean.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun read.
ReplyDeletelove your humor!
Mrs. T how could you bannish Mr. T just look at that gorgeous man you have!
ReplyDeleteWell ... this was just hysterical!!
ReplyDeleteSheds are great refuges for husbands from virago wives: you stay where you are Caddoc. Is Llandudno far enough away, Ada?
ReplyDeleteViV
smiles. why it is a good i dont have a lamp....nice magpie!
ReplyDeleteIs Blogland really the best arena for airing marital discord? These people need our sympathy and support. Ada is a sad, neglected Shed Widow and Closet Poet, and I suspect that inside crumpled Caddoc there "beats a heart as big as all outdoors"
ReplyDeleteWow. Love and Light, Sender
ReplyDeleteWhat discord Doc? Only a happy person can impersonate a dragon so charmingly, and only another happy person can allow the deeply 'shopped' portraits of himself and his love to be published so widely.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed my strangely elevated position in the points list, Ida, you don't look like someone who rewards sickofancy, so I hope you will not punish my silly comment above...
ReplyDeleteTake care, Bob
Did anyone notice that a trellis is something erected for creepers, flowers, and suchlike to climb up? Djin and tonic for me please Ada.
ReplyDeleteMy oh my
ReplyDeleteyou're gonna miss that shed...
Wd luv 2 have a dream like that... actually wd prefer it really happened. Wd finally get my wishes.
ReplyDeleteHehehehe, Yo! Ada, o that made me laugh, you have a down to earth hubbie dere, and a keeper he may be if only by the light of a lantern :)
ReplyDeleteFun, light, yet oh so deep...
ReplyDeleteNice magpie.
Passing thought – wonder what ‘Dreaded Caddoc’ is dreaming about!
ReplyDeleteThat's one reason I never sleep - so much disappointment in the night! :) Great piece!

ReplyDeleteI try and I try to leave a comment - but I am not on my home computer. Ada, you have offended me by not recognising my posts! I'm now in a sulk.
Heehee! Thanks for the Monday morning giggles!
ReplyDeleteNimaruichi
ReplyDeleteI have it on the best authority, that Dreaded Caddoc dreams of only of Ada...
You always make me smile! :-)
ReplyDeletedang...perhaps you can go back to sleep a bit?
ReplyDeleteHilarious post-loved it!
