Another creative prelude
[with thanks to R A K Mason]
This plump cheque award
provides fittingly
screen bed and board
for stanzas on me
They ask no grim
Ron Mason verses
look what’s happened to him
dwindling past curses
I relish the cultured pearls
silken tassels
wait for the girls
the plonk-full vessels
I make few lines of lustre
but lyrics à la mode
nothing to cause a fluster
no one to wince at my goad
