Mona Moisey was on her last legs
She had tried so often to interest Harry
The man she loved and had wanted to marry.
She knew she was never to be Miss World
But she had within her much get up and go
She determined to try the last string to her bow.
Harry often came home late each night
Mona knew that when he reached the door
She’d start her act wanting him desiring more.
He was always tired after a long day
Often irritable having little to say
But she’d make this a memorable day.
At first Harry was a little puzzled
The music was soft, the ambience low
He wasn’t known for being slow.
Before he knew it there stood Mona
Wrapped tight in a purple boa
She moved, as Harry had never known her.
She glided seductively across the room
He was transfixed, his eyes were glued
He’d never before seen her so hued.
Mona had practiced all afternoon
Her music she knew so very well
She waited patiently to hear the bell.
Holding the boa in one hand
She held it for Harry to take in his hand
Not only his imagination began to expand.
Mona whirled, turned and spun around
Suddenly standing there before her man
The boa in hand, her dignity behind a fan.
Harry gulped and saw his girl
As slowly she dropped the fan she waved
He saw the woman he now craved.
Later that night Mona smiled
She felt content and oh so smug
As she snuggled up, like a bug in a rug.

Ooh la laa, Monsieur, little Mona turned into a a little groaner. Made me chuckle , hope Harry took his heart pills before hand! well done Michael, saucy bugga 🙂
Thank you Jenny, did you feel your heart all a flutter?
See you had me all a flutter, I double typed lol
I hadn’t read your response then wrote that last line 🙂
I’m glad it worked out well for her in the end, I wasn’t sure it would! This was a lot of fun, I especially liked “The boa in hand, her dignity behind a fan”
Thanks Pooky happy you enjoyed it.
Very well done. Yay for Mona. 🙂
Thanks Tricia happy you enjoyed it.
Hah i love this gentle humour and ooh lala x
Thanks Justine happy you enjoyed it.
Now the question: Did he marry her? lol! Ooh lala, is right 🙂
Mandy we may never know, but as I said elsewhere I don’t think she was thinking wedding bells. Thanks so much for your comment.
I enjoyed this little romp! Good for Mona! Bet Harry won’t forget this night 😉
I think Mona hopes he doesn’t either. Maybe she has started a tradition between them. Thanks for reading and your comment Jackie.
A perfect story and your rhyme’s right on…very funny too I really loved this one! Uhm, but maybe she got him in bed…but did she get him to the chapel?
I don’t think Mona was thinking chapel on this night. Thanks Georgia for your kind comment, it was a fun one to write.
And to read…much appreciated.
Have you any idea how hard it is to hold on to a fan to cover your bits? Let alone with a boa in the other hand??? *smile* This really was lovely and took me back a few years to my burlesque-apades. I know I said something similar to Pooky on her offering today, but I really wish we could all just embrace who we are and what we look like… It would make us feel so much more beautiful! And speaking of beautiful… This is another beautiful write! Bravo!
I think in this case CC Mona would not have been too concerned about any of her bits being seen by Harry so long as she achieved her goal, which she did. But I understand there is a logistics concern over such an action. However all is well that ends well. Thanks CC for your very generous comment.
Whoa Mona! 😉
She achieved her goal RoSy, and good for her.
