Serenity tags Anvrill. Anvrill challenges wranx to write a poem about each of his Ex-Wives, settles for a few. Here is poem #1 (wife #2) Libby Lied I married Libby somewhere in the 70’s My second, her first She was rascally and long-legged short I had known her for a while and I knew this about her Libby lied Lied about anything for no discernable reason Except perhaps, to amuse herself Sometimes, she would drop a whole litter And when I would bend down to take a close look at one It would lick my face and wag its’ little tail as if to say “but I’m cute” I excused this as part of her “charm” Until one of them would poop on the rug Only to scold it and watch it scamper back to Libby so that she could defend it This is how things went Until, as nature would have it cute and little things seldom stay that way Soon, they would start running to hell and gone, creating mischief everywhere Chasing cats up trees Knocking over trash cans Trampling flower beds And always, Libby would defend them But, it was tolerable Until, One particularly large and clumsy lie Ran off to Atlantic City with our checkbook and an ex-con ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

 Sorry for being such a brat.Loved the running metaphor! Hm, or is it called a conceit when a metaphor gets that big? Grr, I'm bad with the technical terms. Good write. I apologize again for being a brat.  written in blood before everything went black |

*chuckling* You seem to be taking it well. I agree with anvrill, on the metaphor. " Sometimes, she would drop a whole litter And when I would bend down to take a close look at one It would lick my face and wag its’ little tail as if to say “but I’m cute”" Funny? But I feel like I know HER too! I used to sing this to her...er, Black Crowes maybe? "She never mentions the word 'addiction'-- in certain company. She'll tell you she's an orphan-- after you meet her family..." loved this wranx... You DO have some tales to tell, doncha? |
