Two old hags drink ale and reminisce in a pub called the Duck and Crown they live in the same run down house one lives up and one lives down. They spend their mornings sitting on the steps yelling at strangers that pass their way By three, so drunk they roar and snort not caring what anyone might say. They had been such very close friends born on the same street, the same year went to school each day together felt the same joy, felt the same fear. They fell in love with the same man and fought for him like enemies sworn their friendship, once so firmly held became vicious and badly torn. They took up their cause so fiercely and battled to win the war until one day they realized their lover wasn’t there anymore. They drove him away with hostile words and each felt shame in almost the same way So together in hate, they lived their lives blaming the other for living this way. |

Thought I'd stop by for a pint... and a fine ale you brew Ms. DeVine! There's something to be said about fighting so hard and long you forget what you're fighting about... I'm sure Toe would have something to say about whom they were fighting over... Me? I'll just say I spent my love one at a time and the best one is still cashing in. Well, enough of my yarn spinning... time for me to mosey on. Once again, thanks for the refreshments and here's to you. |

 Well done again... I only hope someday to bring images to life like you do..MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |

I never saw these two hags before....so now I must learn the lesson within for the first time! This is a great poem, thanks for reposting it! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |
