Give Me Two Choices/As A Renaissance Girl
Give me two choices:
A sexy little cocktail dress,
or a highly restrictive corset with a peasant blouse and many layered skirts.
A pair of runway-worthy stilettos,
or a pair of Celtic-laced leather ghillies.
A pair of invisble panty-hose,
or a pair of eccentric, striped knee-high socks.
A dazzling rhinestone necklace,
or a dragon claw curled around a marble on a black cord.
A snazzy little scarf,
or a pair of sparkling fairy wings.
A sleek, sexy updo,
or naturally flowing locks adorned with a circlet of silver and a pair of ceramic Pan horns.
A face covered in glittery makeup,
or an actual mask, studded with gemstones.
A ride in a fancy limousine,
or a ride in a cart pulled by a man wearing jingle bell anklets.
A cd of the most recent chart-topping songs,
or a cd of singing pirates, Scottish bagpipes and drums, bronze bells, and Norse tunes.
A day spent shopping in the big city,
or a day spent frollicking around in a field full of stages, shoppes, and stands.
A four-course meal at a five-star restaurant,
or a geasy turkey leg or Scotch egg.
A night in a club, surrounded by strangers grinding on girls,
or a night in an open-air tavern, surrounded by strangers asking for a lively jig.
Losing my voice singing along to "Party Rock Anthem",
or losing my voice singing along to pirate songs at the Pub Sing.
The linering scent of a player's cologne and aftershave,
or the lingering scent of incense, mead, and sweat.
A night concluded with sitting at home alone,
or a night concluded with fireworks.
A normal, mudane day,
or a day at the Renaissance Festival.
Give me two choices:
I'll always choose the second.
I feel more alive as a Reaissance Girl.
