To write or not to write a soliloquy.
Imagine a scene, a train is pulling out of the station and a person standing on the platform looking dejected. What can have happened? Perhaps this person is someone in the station wishing to leave but for some reason hasn’t.
Should I chase, should I in haste
Hail the guard, wave him down.
She’s left her bag down here at my feet.
I’m sure it’s full of important stuff
Its heavy enough to prove that point.
The train is moving I could stop it if I tried
But the stupid cow deserves to know
I can’t be messed with as I go.
For she had her chance to woo me till dawn
Instead she chose to bunk on down,
Snored like a sailor, woke the neighbours
Is it little wonder I have no compunction
To stop the train.
For then I’d have to see her again.
Oh woe is me for I did choose
The siren and not the sweet girl Juliet.
She’s left me stripped, exposed to the world
I wonder if this bag is worth a ransom?
I’ll text her now, so she’ll know
To send money, lots of money
For I’ve noticed another blonde is free
This Tinder is the place for me.

Roflmao – oh how you have tackled this so well Michael 😀
What a romp – well, perhaps not, but hey another siren calls, so all’s well that ends well? perchance?
Great take on the prompt – it really sounds like we’re in the guy’s head …. so yeah, hats off again 🙂
An entertaining cad, this fellow. I’d call him a gentleman, but we know what he really is.
Bravo .. I hear the bard indeed as I read your lovely soliloquy! This is so delightful, it made my day!
Thank you Georgia, my pleasure nothing like having a go at a bit of pretend Shakespeare….
So right you are … it really can be lots of fun!
Well, that went somewhere completely different to what I was expecting. When I saw the word siren, I was thinking of another type of siren completely. I mean, after all, someone leaves a bag on a railway station…
Lol…I see what you mean, but then again I like that I am not always obvious…lol….thanks for stopping by, obviously you haven’t melted away??
No, still in one piece. Thank God it’s cooler today. Only 33 degrees 🙂
Our weather has just changed, its down to 30C now…wind from the NE…but the sky is full of smoke as well…hopefully we will survive this day after all.
I believe there are some bad fires not all that far from you. Hope they stay away, Michael.
So do I….
I got a grin out of this scallywag! I bet even Willie Shakes would’ve get a kick out of this.
Thank you that’s a lovely comment
A humeros soliloquy, guess he wasn’t to attached. I kept wondering what was in the bag, I kept thinking drugs. But if it is, hopefully he’ll throw it out and forget about it with his new Tinder blond. Nice write Michael!
Thanks Mandi, it was a lot of fun putting it together..
