Dressed to Kill
By Jeanette Cheezum
Her sashay excited the room.
No man unable to gawk.
She slid out a cigarette.
Watched them scamper to ignite.
She’d just play it cool.
Keep as many of them in the room
before she escaped to hit
the detonator.
That’s supposed to be She’d just play it cool.
I love it! Appeals to my warped sense of humor. The last line is a killer (pun intended).
Thanks, Frieda. I loved that it made you smile.
I can picture the scene. Great imagery in this great, exciting poem!
Love it!

Thanks, Christopher. Sometimes I have a warped sense of humor.
