The conversation on my last post went like this:
Him: My goodness...what a complicated structure! I will have to look it over when it is not 11 pm here. As for daughters...I have one about that age and looks. And darn it..she's all grown up on me. Nice post.
Me: Your post yesterday inspired this from me today. : ) You made me think about my own daughter and of just how proud I am of her too. I love her to death! Yes, they are all grown up now ... lovely but sad too. I know. And, by the way, I don't advise attempting this form unless you are very, VERY keen!
Him: HEY !! I CAN BE VERY VERY KEEN IF I WANNA !!!! : )
Me: Okay ... You can be if you WANNA ... um ...but what if I DARE you!
Him: A "double dog Iron Poet Challenge Dare?"
Me: YEP! A double dog IRON POET CHALLENGE DARE ... TO YOU!!!! : )

Me: WHAT!!!! But...but... but ... I just did one ... and COMIC SUPERHERO???!!!! YIKES!!!!!! Oh...... okay then! : ( I knew you were lining me up for this too ... I was trying to pretend I didn't notice and see if you'd let me get away with it! DRAT!!!!
Him: And we hafta use the word "spandex." I know..I'm mean...but hey....are you UP TO IT???
Me: This means WAR you know! And not the friendly "Battle of the Sexes" kind! A WAR of the SUPERHEROES!!! *She skulks away wondering what she knows of superheroes and how she could possibly write of one in an Englyn? YIKES!*
Me: SPANDEX!!!! Are you mad?????
Him: Put up or shut up....welll..not really shut up;....more like untype up or something. YES SPANDEX !!!!!!! Why? Too Scared! (I know I am)

WONDER WOMAN
Blessed with great beauty and loving heart – wow!
Wonder Woman’s so smart
To win you’ll need a head start
She’s truly state of the art
The very best of her kind – Amazon
Amazing, agile mind
Her confidence unconfined
Superior to men-kind
Her force from earth spirit – superhuman
Super-heroine grit
She can fly and she can flit
Super speed - lickety split!
Her golden bracelets bulletproof - weapons
Watch her Lasso of Truth
Wisdom, beauty and strength – strewth!
And in spandex … she’s no goof!

She's Lewis Carroll, that's the truth!
When you think she just might goof,
She snaps her spandex without reproof
And leaves her foes forlornly strewth!
But just between you and me ..... I wish I could share your confidence that I'm going to win. Superheroes and Spandex are not my specialty I'm afraid. I think JD has them covered! ; ) LOL!!!!
I MAY be in trouble here!!!!
DANG !!! THIS ROCKS !!!
(meanders off to eat cheetos and cry over spilt milk)
poetically speaking of course...
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA (think Austin Powers movies)
Goodnight JD!
Nite Super Kate! Go save a soul while I sleep will ya?
Goodnight, JD. A big smile here.
Thank you!
And I hope it was a wonderful and very special day, tril!
About a woman nothing stops
The closest thing I own to spandex is my Lycra bike outfit
tight against my skin it will sit
sooner rather than later
weather please get better
cold rains fall today matter
**laughter at my poor rhyme above**
I love that you know how to have FUN!!
Inverted Interrobang: A 'GREAT' combination indeed! LOL!!! Thank you for reading!
catch-22: You're too kind. Thank you. It WAS a lot of fun! Although writing an Englyn .... seriously tough! I'm not sure what possessed us! LOL!
