696 : Capricious Love

Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were: animate, impassioned and pervert.

Capricious Love
An Animated Affair

Impassioned, the accused asserted
His innocence of the crime:
Of having a lady for sport,
Of having a beastly good time.
For a lark, in a park.

In short, the case he presented
Was – “Can it be perverted
If the goat consented?”
.

  1. Yup. It can and is. Unless you can convince me that the goat was an adult, fully informed, and did consent to his lark.

    1. Yeah, they should never give me words like 'perverted' in these prompts.

    1. Ha! Any reaction is a good reaction. Note: It was a writing exercise, not an instruction manual!

  6. Goats not sheep! Obviously this particular crime did not take place in Wales ;)
