Well I met a little red neck; said Prince Charming was his name,
but he rode a metal horse; cause his steed he said was lame.
I thought what really matters is he can get me out of here
so I jumped upon the metal rack as he caught another gear!
The uphill climb was murder; I could see it on his face
and by his sweat that poured straight down, you’d think this was a race!
But then quite sweetly he digressed and asked if we could stop
and it only took a second, till off that dang back tire I hopped!
I rubbed my butt, and bitched a bit cause I’d had enough of bikes
and being the gentleman that he was, he’d found out my dislikes.
We stopped for coffee and apple pie, cause red necks like that stuff
and not just plain, oh no not him, he piled on all that fluff!
His blue eyes gave me shivers from my head down to my toes,
and it wasn’t very long until my temperature had rose--
We left that dinky diner and we walked and talked a bit
until it started raining and it’s then I threw a fit!
He took me home and warmed me up, more cheerily it went
and in front of fire he’d built for me is where the night was spent.
Now I’m doing all his dishes, washing clothes and feeding kids
and I wonder if that dang lame horse was well or hit the skids?
But I have to say it turned out well, cause ladies, he’s for real--
A prince who gives the largest bouquets was a bargain and a steal!

This is really beautiful Sandi. But of course you know Herman better than anybody else in this Contest. You had to come up with a great poem and you did. Anna.

Red Neck? me thinks you have a smoothie there, Sandi,clearly one who knows how to live up to his title.One has to think that you ended up with the ride you were looking for.And that you knight in shiny leather knew how to handle his trusty steed. A wonderful insight into a obviously happy pair . well done an enjoyable read I bet Herman loves it
-
Your "playing with words and building a poetry" is very special. I like your way to describe feelings and pour out your great poetic talent. This stanza before last is so true, funny and...everything....also, this is great story and you deserved gold. lol
~Sonja~ -
Oh dang you got me there. I had hired that lame metal horse of course How otherwise could I made this fit. But anyway nobody seems to believe more those days while I never do any maskerades. I rather hide me behind bouquets of flowers. Drag all those roses to my fairmaiden's place.
And now the results of all my labour are doggykisses on my cheeks. Yeah it aint easy Living with a prince and two kittens and some spareribs too.
But anyway to come to the point The rhyming was perfect the humor overwhelming the complements Oh well thats been said. Leave it up to the judges but you are my princess Kisses your prince charming
