This evening I'm laughing
At myself.
I want a silly fairy tale.
Ridiculous and nave.
I want a little kindness ...
It's silly, of course, alas.

a little out of reach, for me anyway, fairy tales are unattainable

'nave' means the central part of a church, extending from the narthex
to the chancel and flanked by aisles.

I think you want 'naive', unsophisticated; ingenuous.

Okay: A Naive Fairy-Tale For Sergo.

I thought of a fantasy in which I thought of someone else
while making love to my wife.
Sentiments allow me to ignore reality;
they give me strength to wander forth,
instead of putting a noose around my
neck and jumping off a chair in my closet,
although I fantasize about that too.
Imagine the shock when my maid comes in
to straighten out my bedroom.
It makes me hot.
She is really a fine looking woman.
She wears one of those 'French Maid' costumes
that no French maid ever wore.
She bends over frequently, picking up objects she
has dropped. Her little skirt pulls up and there is
absolutely nothing between my eyes and her pussy
but air.

She says, "Oh la-la! Fifi is sooo clumsay today,
ajourdui, no?"

I turn with embarrassment, red faced, away from the sight.
I am a nominal Christian, after all, although in my fantasies
I am a Jew who outlived the Holocaust and have been
amputated in a very bad place for such a view of French pussy.

Then I think of the wars. There are so many to choose from;
I pick the latest of them in my country; Afghanistan/Iraq/
Pakistan and of course the War Against The Terrorist Obama.

This gives me someone to hate who isn't a Republican.
I want to eat an ice-cream cone with chocolate frosting
thickly plastered with finely shattered peanuts,
I want to dance in the rain in the nude and not get wet,
I want to win the biggest lottery in the world
and buy everything and everyone I desire.

Sometimes, I wonder if in being so sophisticated,
I am actually being naive.

Hi, Robert!
It looks like I over read those sill fairy tales ...
I didn't understand your comment ... "It's silly, of course, alas."
Best regards, SergoD.

Your speaker wants a naive fairy tale.

So I wrote one for him.
