In The Meadow


IN THE MEADOW


In the gently rolling green meadow
The quiet, peaceful meadow
Where the wild yellow buttercups bloom
Lie his bones in an unmarked tomb

The bones of a long dead fellow
Who became quite drunk and mellow
He kidnapped the village harlot
A lady whose name was Charlotte

Charlotte was oh so beguiling
She stabbed him, all the while smiling
Now he lies cold and buried in the meadow
In the gently rolling green meadow

    Hi Curtis, welcome back! Wow this is quite a story, I really enjoyed reading it... it kind of lulls you into this beautiful feeling of a meadow with buttercups and then takes a twist :) Very cool!

    This poem has a nice rhyme, but I hope it's not true, although - I know that there are some pretty bad lady killers. Thanks for sharing..... Lucilla
