Weekly Writing Challenge: Oh, the Irony

From WordPress for the Weekly Writing Challenge: Oh, the Irony: “In everyday language, we now use “irony” as a synonym for snark or sarcasm (or, sometimes, for unusually bad luck). xxx In this week’s challenge, I’d like to invite you to write a post built around an ironic moment. You could recount a scene in which what you said was the opposite of what you meant. You could tell a story in which one of the people involved is entirely unaware of the motivations of everyone else. Or address your post to another person, letting us — your readers — infer the real, very different message between the lines.xxx” at:

my post on “irony”. ironically, the irony is always lost on those think their reign is iron-clad

           The Wonder of Plunder

 

One day you have the Palace and the Senate

 

Next day you have a prison and  a  sentence

 

One day you’re hosting a ball —

 

Next day you’re posting your bail.

 

One day you’re flying and jetsetting

 

Next day you want to be jettisoned

 

One day you’re creme de la creme —

Next day you’re cream of your crime.

 

Such is life, really?, what a wonder

 

Life is bittersweet, seriously?, your time means plunder
