Bummer

BUMMER The last sad day of June my true love said goodby She packed a bulging overnight and baked an apple pie We had a hearty dinner then but scarce a word was uttered The steak was tough as shoe leather stale bread left unbuttered I asked her for a farewell kiss her eyelids how they fluttered “I shore shore shore will miss ya, Bess.” I blubbered and I stuttered She paid my sadness little mind but scooped an apple with her spoon I watched the juice run down her chin while mentioning our honeymoon “Oh, Bess, we had such happy days remember all the golden hours?” She winced right smart and spit a gob “This apple pie is SOUR!"

WoW! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Really good rhyme and meter here. Can see the couple having their last meal together. Can feel your sadness but think maybe you can do better. God Bless, JB
