L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Dear Friend

Dear friend of longstanding honor
Come, sit beside me here
My tale of woe is a yawner,
But, one fitting your ear.

My sin uneventful.
She was most resentful,
Not so consentual.

You have stayed with me to the bitter end
So sorry I cheated on her, dear friend.

rhyming couplet and refrain]
