The three words provided by Three Words Wednesday this week are “callous”, “interfere” and “persistent”. The following poem is my submission.
How can you be so callous?
Exclaimed my wife, thoroughly dejected,
You forgot your only daughter’s birthday,
And now she feels so very neglected!
But love, in all sincerity, I’m profusely sorry,
For I’ve had such a terrible day,
I’ve had to fend off my persistent secretary,
Who’s just looking for a quick lay!
Poor darling, she lovingly sympathized,
I won’t interfere with your work again,
Just promise me, you’ll buy me that solitaire,
And take me on that expensive trip to Spain.
How can you be so callous?
Screamed my gorgeous secretary,
You promised to leave that hag for me,
Don’t you wish to be, in my arms, free?
But love, in all sincerity, I’m profusely sorry,
For I’ll owe my wife hefty alimony,
I’m terrified of her mother, a persistent lawyer,
She’s armed and built, like a naval destroyer!
Poor darling, she lovingly sympathized,
How dare that witch interfere in our love?
That aside, darling, my landlord called today,
Did you forget to pay my rent yesterday?
