Ha ha ! Been there many a time Mr D, this brought a big ray of sunshine to a soggy grey morn, thank you.

I would expect they would be interesting stories to listen to Nigel. Glad to have provided a ray of sunshine. We need some darn sarf today as well.

Yes, Davy D. A certain amount of wickedness keeps life interesting. But I hope this was a good kind of wickedness and that you have no regrets. Either way, it’s a wonderful haiku, bringing a smile to an old lady’s face. (I know I’m not an old lady. I just feel like being overly dramatic tonight.) And hey, be careful up there, and don’t lose your balance! 🙂

Lol Laura. Mrs. Davy D says I was spawned from the Devil, but in a mischievous way. I think it keeps people on their toes. Glad to have provided a smile for you and the old lady 🙂 Keep up the dramatics.

The trick, of course, Davy, is not to fall off. Your tightrope image conveys that so precisely.

Thank you Roland. I have spent my life wearing a crash helmet and other protective attire, but I will leave those tales for another day.

That was a lot of fun! It made me hear the song “witchy woman” by the Eagles in my head. Devilish ways eh? We all have our share don’t we? Hehehe😉

We certainly do Lesley 🙂 I will have to listen to that song, haven’t heard it in a long time. At my age I am creating devilish ways by the day.

Ahh, you were lucky she told me I couldn’t wear any of that stuff because it killed the thrill!!! Her eyes always made me believe her wicked lies and I stayed too and have the scars to remind me she was a devil and an angel. That kept me off balance too.

That is a fun and clever Haiku. The rope looks good and strong; what about your balance?
Being so wooed you might not mind the consequences.

Thank you Miriam. I don’t know if you watched any of the Carry On Films. They always had a play on words between wooed and rude. I think that may have been in my subconscious when I wrote this 🙂
