Literary Works by ILIA

It was a good laugh
because of my gaffe

first it was a jiggle
that made me giggle

with great clarity
I saw the hilarity

with eyes lit like glitter
I didn’t restrain my titter

for what it was worth
I couldn’t contain my mirth

Jellied knees buckling
I continued chuckling

down on the floor
I laughed some more

my plan was to beguile
to get you to smile

looks like I got my way
bringing cheer to your day

Click, Click
Clickity, clickity, click

Holding herself with a graceful classiness
Head held high, so sweet and filled with bliss

The little lady gently tapped some more
Across the vast expanse of the wood floor

Oblivious, or so it seems,
Of eyes turning her way, filled with dreams

To see the petite princess
Strut in her leopard dress

Why, I wonder in this game,
Don’t the boys sound the same?

The big hulks, while they case
Just pad along silently on the same base

No one noticing the cleverness
Of the guys stealthiness

While the little lady love is the one
Taking the entire show, having all the fun!
