I was looking mighty purdy
All dressed in fine attire
Going for a job inteview
Hoping I'd be the one they'd hire

I got explicit directions
And was running right on time
THEN came the elevator
Which wasn't looking quite too prime

Slowly the doors opened
And much to my surprise
There were people I dare say 20
Looking back into my eyes

I smiled and climbed inside
Pushing the button to floor 13
Twas then I noticed the foulest smell
Bad breath and stinky feet
And something in between

I wished that this elevator
Would stop on any floor
Although walking flights of steps
I simply do abhor


Ohhh weee the stench was overpowering
Yet no one spoke a word
Then the biggest bodily outlet came
The loudest I think I've ever heard

My eyes were tearing up and then
The elevator stopped or was it merely by chance?
Out from the back came Mr. Donald Trumpp
Who obviously ...... had just pooped his pants

I reckon even rich folks
Have had a mishap or two
Would I ride again with the Donald on boared
HECK YES.... now wouldn't you?
Apprentice Position Filled ~Jacie~

THIS old man made a promise of twenty
==========================
And he thinks that is plenty
=============================
But with more experiences in elevators with beautiful young lasses that are taunty
======================================
HE just might lose count and never get to twenty
=======================
A dirty old man can have wishes tooooo
===================================
What he needs now is some of that forever young feeln' brew

Tis a bit long, I’m afraid, but for those of you who take the time to read it, I hope it’s worth your while! Smiles!

Just another long day beginning this hour
I really wish it wasn't true
How I long for some magical power
To make my wish come true

The elevator is waiting for me
To step aboard and climb
Up to my floor, level 3
And I'm already running behind

As I step in, I realize
I'm all alone, save one
The doors close, but not my eyes
When the stranger pulls out a gun

"Now don't you fret, Missy May,
This thing don't even work.
I'm returning it to the store today
To get back my money's worth."

He introduces himself as Ken,
Then winks a playful eye..
He aims at the controls, but then
We stop, to his surprise.

In the shock of disbelief,
Ken drops the gun to the floor
“Well, I’ll be a tadpole!,” said he,
“If this ever happened before.”

I look at my watch, 10 minutes late!
I run to call for help
But the button was in bad shape
So I cry, “Help! Help! HELP!”

Desperation leaves me dumb
“I can’t die here! It’s not my time!”
Then I spot the guilty gun
And aim it at Ken, the poor guy

Ken pleads and pleads
For me to find a better way
Suddenly, I drop to my knees
And start to hyperventilate

I’m stuck in the elevator,
Because of this gun,
This is no simulator,
And no help will come…

I pass out, my heart stops,
And in outer body view
I can see me and Pops
I don’t know what he will do

Being the gentleman he is,
Ken starts CPR
Though it looks like a kiss
God bless his heart…

Just as I’m coming to,
The doors are pried free,
The rescue workers look confused
Why is this man kissing me?

Ken’s face is flushed pink
I can hardly catch my breath
All that I can think
Is this man just stopped my death

As I explain what happened to the cops
I don’t catch Mr. Ken’s wink
For what I had thought was heroic of Pops
Wasn’t as heroic as we think



Hehehe, all in fun! I hope you can forgive me for putting a twist on the idea you gave us in WOP. Good luck with your contest.

Btw, why don’t you make the # you’re waiting for 15 instead of 20?

I bleed ink.

Ok ken...here is mine...hope you enjoy..

"Riding In Elevators"



I hate to ride on elevators
but sometimes I must.
Cannot get up the steps
This seems so unjust.
I am very claustrophobic
Been that way all my life
Being backed in a corner
Gives me so much strife.
Heart starts racing badly
Perspiring at the brow
Why is this happening to me?
I have to get through this somehow.
My biggest fear has happened
"Stuck in an elevator", Feels like I can't breathe
Thinking the end must be near
Deciding on what I'll bequeath.



Thank you so much,
Heaven's Own

If I had to be stuck in an elevator
I would like it to be with Donald Trumpp
They say that he is claustraphobic
I'd be such a sugar lump

Giving him comfort and calm talk
Sweet soothsayer I'd be
Thinking of all his MONEY
I'd offer my services for a slight fee

I would stroke his thin wig and tell him
We are going to be truly just fine
And when the doors open on level ground
The next apprentice position IS MINE!!!! ~Jacie~

Stuck in an Elevator
By Janice Marie

I can hardly breathe
You will never guess
Who just got in the elevator
And there is no other here
Just me
Eyes of blue and that wonderful smile
I would love to keep him around for awhile
Looking at him through the corner of my eye
I would love to talk to him but I am so shy
He must have sensed my unease
For he turned slightly and smiled at me
He asked me my name and I was tongue tied
All I could do was look at his gorgous eyes
That smile of his widened more
As he started to laugh and asked me once more
I said my name is Janice and what is yours?
I covered my mouth with my hand and turned beet red
Just then the elevator came to a stop
It seemed that we were stuck on the top
He pressed all the buttons but it wouldn’t start
There must be a broken part
I will never forget that special day
Talking to Mel Gibson and passing the time away

I made a mistake on my post and can't edit it now. I'd like to change the 1st line of the last stanza to "The crying has ruined my voice"

Sorry for the confusion :-(

Ah, I liked the theme you chose to this challenge :-)
Here is my contribution, a Quatern

I wished to go very high
Stepped into an elevator
To shout my immense love to him
hoping my feelings not to dim

The 55th floor, my destination
I wished to go very high
And let my heart speak out freely
Show the world how big love can be

But for my horror I got stuck
Alone in the elevator
I wished to go very high
Instead all I could do was cry

So much cry has ruined my voice
Not able to shout - just whisper
My words I didn’t spread in the sky
I wished to go very high…

If I had one golden wish for all heavens chime
It would be to see the rainbow in hues
To follow the strands to you
To see the others side as one glance
To walk with your in my romance

If I had wish to be there
To share all the beauty in the silver chord to where
Could you stand in the breathe to mine
I wish this for all my time

~ Kule idea, Ken! Okay, here's my contribution, my best imitation of style a la PawPaw Ken (without all the equal signs!):

Stuck in an elevator,
Each moment getting later!
Always a lazy queen:
Ride to the mezzanine.
If I had used the stair
I'd be in open air
Filling my buffet plate.
I know now if I ate,
That lard beneath my skin
Would get me stuck again!


Thanks, LMP, this was fun!
Blessings and Twinkies ~ Pam

just a quickie penned on my five minute coffee break. H.

stuck in an elevator somewhere between
the 23rd floor and a dimming eternity,
after an hour or so i began to hallucinate
to compensate for the lack
of visual stimulation
and comfort my fear
of airless closed in spaces.

it took but a wish and in a flash i flew
as a swift whose life is spent in the air
shadowing the moon and following the sun
that would never again set in my world.

for hours it seemed i circled the earth
and the starry vault of heaven. i learned to sing
and mate on the wing, sip silvery rain
and lived on morning dew

until the Otis man came and clipped my wings
and the better part of my soul,
returned me again to my paper strewn cage
on the ground floor of my airless world.

Wishes
By Janice Marie

If I had one wish it would be
That you would always love me
Hold me in your heart and soul
As if I were your precious gold

If I had one wish it would be
That you would hold me tight
And never let me go
No matter what the plight

If I had one wish it would be
That all of your thoughts
Were all of me
And only me

If I had one wish it would be
That all of your ambitions
You strive for
Would always include me

If I had one wish it would be
That you would never be unhappy
And that it was never caused by me

If I had one wish it would be
That joy and laughter
Would fill your life
And that I would never cause you strife

If I had one wish it would be
That no matter what you asked of me
I would be able to do with a smile
And that I could be with you for awhile

If I had one wish it would be
That all your days and nights
Would be spent in my arms
Loving and holding me tight
