Green Eyed Monster- a Love Story

Green Eyed Monster - A Love Story So, I headed home to me flat from a hard day’s night Working in the coal mines for a quid or two “Just outside Londondary”, me says, when some busy body inquires I goes right home to find me bed Right quick and fast since I’m exhausted I finds me ugly gal Sal with some guy there Doing some unkind deeds upon me pillow That I can’t rightly explain right here and now Being a gentlemanly kinda fellow that I am and seeing red I says to Sal, “Watcha doing deary?!” “What’s that in me bed?” She says, “Nuffin love.” “I just finished the wash and found this bloke in here And I’m all flustered, and as surprised as you.” As a rule me complexion is as white as these sheets once were I becomes hysterical, flushed and weird and fumbles for me gun “Where’s me bullets deary!” I query of the misses. But she’s as quiet as a mouse. Now I’m in a frenzy and frothing at the mouth “Don’t let me get me belt out or a knife!” I yells out to the wife “Let’s keep it nice and easy!” I finds the bullets, fills the chambers, shoots in their direction I missed them both But halted the copulation or repopulation Which ever comes first Created on 11/25/14 for “The Green Eyed Monster” – Poetry Contest

Hi Linda, Thank you so much. Sometimes I enjoy stepping out of character to create characters. Sadly this type of character does exist and is too real in the world. Have a really nice week end. Take care. Earl

I Jan, As you know, I am not from England but I was going for the cockney dialect. I don't know if I pulled it off. You would know. I am glad you enjoyed it. Earl
