Hell Hath No Fury Beware

hot burning affair 
                 but he was part of a pair 
                     wife became aware 
            ripping them off wants her share 
                   family jewels left bare

Great poem David Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 4/28/2021 2:07:00 AM Heya Funom, thank you so much for looking in, your right has not stopped and probably never will, I wasn’t judging the circumstances just perhaps the consequences, cheers David

Best regards, cheers // Lasaad Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 4/25/2021 11:38:00 PM Your so right Lasaad, this took a bit of figuring out, I took it apart numerous times, swapping lines and rhymes, til I was satisfied, or indeed the wife got satisfaction, cheers David
