Every little girl should have an aunt Amelia. This presentation is first rate from the illustrations to the word pictures. And the little girl crushes bring back memories.

Debbie,

Well, sweet child, you may find more man there than you can handle. *smile* Back away. Slowly. And do not go back. hahaha! This was fun, though I have no idea where it came from!

    It came from that wallpaper, Robyn. I wanted to use those roses. They looked like something in my Aunt Nell's house. Then matters got ridiculous, and I kept going with it. This is not my genre, and I knew that I would not win this one anyway. Those rhyming poem entries are good. Thank you for seeing the humor in it.

Great poem and I loved the picture as well. Can't remember if you have been following the trip stories in here or (Geoff)my recent Rant I did over in sankey. Good work and no spags.

    Thank you for your review. I have been following your trips. I've been doing a lot of reading lately without reviewing. I will actually review one soon. I enjoy your trip stories very much.

This reminds me of the Murdoch Mysteries tv show here in Canada where the young detective was raised in a brothel. Too funny when you think of it. You have good rhymes for this rhyming contest. Best wishes with it.

    Thank you, Joy. You can blame this silly thing on the wallpaper. I wanted to write a poem using those roses. Then it turned silly. I appreciate your thoughts. Hope you are doing well today.

    I go see the sports doctor today and find out what is going on about my cortisone shot appointment. Will let you know.

    Please let me know. I have been waiting 2 weeks on a CT scan. Two weeks ago, they said it was an emergency. Finally scheduled for tomorrow. Dealing with the medical professionals is enough to make you sick.

What a poem! Another lady writing a departure from her norm. This is so sweet and lovely, and then the end! Delightful and naughty all rolled into roses and wallpaper so beautiful I wanted to take it with me. Fortunately, I belong to Pinterest and can find it for my collection. This is delightful and I love it!!

Hi Debbie, oh this is lovely and I'm so glad to read one of your lovely poems. It's fun and light and flows so nicely. Wonderful imagery and rhythm. I love the artwork to go with it. All the best. Ulla:)))

Hi, Debbie, haven't seen one of your poems for awhile. I'm glad to see one again. I think it's nice to be able to try and find a "beau" with all those business men. It's funny how a child thinks. It reminds me of Juliet in her mansion, being in your Aunt Amelia's den. Good rhyme too. Donna (Dove)

    Thank you, Donna. It's good to hear from you. I don't write too many of the longer poems, so you probably don't see my name often.
    Thank you for your comments. I always appreciate your thoughts.

Oh! You've told the story in such a delicate way from the innocent point of view of a child. It's good that she just sees "businessmen" and "offering plates" and beautiful roses!

    Thank you for reviewing this one, lyenochka. I don't know what came over me. I saw that red rose wallpaper and thought of it. It was a diversion for me at least.

Oh dear, I thought a gambling parlor but an actual bordello oh my! LOL Loved the inclusion (which makes up the fun of the poem) of the rose wallpaper that every auntie has. Nice job and funny as all get out.

    Thank you, Cathy. You are making me feel better about my silly poem. It was the wallpaper that started my mind in that direction. I certainly appreciate your kind review.

He he he, this is a bit naughty, but in the eyes of an innocent child, all she sees is men having fun! I liked your rhymes Debbie and your cheeky sentiments, love Dolly x
