Chariot Ride

Before you lead me down that weary road
    Please tell me best intentions are in place
    And that your chariot’s fair, measured pace
Will not upset the flowers I have stowed
Upon my blouse – Persephone once rode
    A ride less rude than yours! And Hades’ grace
    No doubt was worth the lumping, cold embrace
As she plunged towards his cavernous abode.
Don’t tease me with these dreams of days gone by,
    And just give to me something fresh and clean –
    I’ll learn nothing if you are not novel –
No ride as this will impress me – Apply
    Your thoughts not as a vague creative machine
    But so that those like me will drool and grovel.
