Beyonce Knowles-Inspired Writing Exercise

This week's writing prompt was a ring that looked a little like this:

When you write a poem, try not to make it poncey

For some reason right now, I’m thinking of Beyonce

She sang about her finger, and how I should put a ring on it

And I probably would, but I’m busy writing limericks

If I did get the chance, I would keep her all for me

With a close eye on her, and keep her under lock and key

Please don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t do her any harm,

But I’ve thought she was great since she sang Ring the Alarm

The woman is a beauty, like a rare porclain vase,

A face to drop jaws an a frankly awesome arse

If I was to date her I’d have to dress dapper

But it’s a shame that she’s already with a gangster rapper

All the glitz and glam would never phase me

But if only I made a paycheck as good as Jay Z.
