The #MastoPrompt for Thursday 16 January 2025 is:

[#]sashay

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

TRANSITION

And so, on the backs of those

Too uneducated and poor to vote

Against him, on the shoulders of

Those too selfish to vote for the

Common good, he sashays back into

Government, with a mind to wreak

Renewed havoc amongst the

Working classes, intent on making

His rich friends richer, and obsessed

With reducing the freedoms of those

Opposed to him. He’s no fool, nor is

He a jester. He drips arrogance with

Every step of his dictatorship.
