she handed me a card
but it was not as funny
as she had lead me to expect
I did not use an opener
but it may have been a dream
in which I was suddenly growing older
she wanted to be bedded
I was quite sure of that
for she told me so herself
collecting bling for the Ondines
I was also quite sure
that I was not intended

I love the tone, kinda bittersweet. My favorite line:
"collecting bling for the Ondines"
could be the title of a book.
well, Jenny, I've given you the title, so start writing, ;-)
Beautifully done, a dream within a dream!
I like the hazy feel of this, where the "quite sure" still feels uncertain.
Collecting bling for the Ondines! Cool. Looking up Ondines led me to Ondine's Curse and the imagining of bling-coated crib death passage graves. Thanks for a neat poem and a neat research time.
"collecting bling for the Ondines"
Very good!
@Charles: dreams matter greatly, right?
@Francis: cool. that's a nice read.
@Old 333: I've been tasked by the authorities to keep you busy with research into the mysterious. It appears the initial experiment has gone well. Subject responding as intended, ha!
@Mr. Sheridan: Thx, Why should the bling only go to the chavs, right? I prefer the older mysteries.
