I watch your sleep-breaths
once felt upon my neck
now, devoted to another
whose body and soul
you crave
I have not the arts to
seduce you, reduce you
to entice you not to stray
she has cast her eye upon you
as she has to others and will again
you are but one skip of stone
across taunt surface of water,
cross her perfumed and perfect skin
to me, you are all and everything
to her, you are but a moment’s
passion spent in adoration
of her artisanal sensuality
men’s lust, mirror by which she
judges her beauty – but remember
whilst she has a body,
she has no soul

Lorraine's frilly freudian slip

This is awesome Lorraine and very much captures the soul of the song, that Jolene is only a temporary thing while the woman she’s begging to leave her man alone, is the real thing and as you write the one with the ‘soul.’
Thanks again for your help with Mr. Linky, I finally had time to sit and figure it out this morning. It was as easy as putting the code I got from the wizard into the HTML text view of the post, then when I switched back to the normal view on my iPad, the code appeared as the Mr. Linky picture and link. I was excited to have it figured out! Thanks again :)
Have a lovely weekend :)

Glad you got Mr. Linky to behave! I do everything on an older PC laptop, so I’m not sure the difference when working with an IPad or IPhone — how a lot of folks do their posting.
My dislike of apple products goes back to working with a Mac (I always use PC) when the other person in the office used an ancient PC with even older software (and wouldn’t update). It was a nightmare! She also would not save the latest version of anything, so I would have to do forensic editing to get the articles back to what they should be to be sent to the printers. If I didn’t catch her, the first set of proofs would be a mess and expensive to fix. Since then, I still have nightmares about Apple!

Oh no. Apple is very good, this is my second iPad mini, my old one was 5 years old still worked great but I needed more GB than 16. The WordPress App is harder than doing it on my Acer Laptop but it’s more convenient to work on the iPad or whatever tablet. It’s just a matter of figuring things out. Any huge blog changes, editing appearance etc. I still have to do on my laptop though.
Yes PCs are reliable I agree. I think Apple Laptops are mire for creative work, graphics and that kind of thing :)
Oh and excited Edmonton’s in round 2 last night and Ottawa just got in round 2 :)

Thanks for sharing the original. I have still to do the music challenge. I think it may be more of a reblog at this point. My music repertoire isn’t growing, lol.
