It was a good morning until I got your letter You admitted you didn't love me any more My desire for revenge I would unfetter When I returned the key to your door You weren't at home as I’d arrived early So I put itching powder in your underpants I’d love to see that when you’re with Shirley Perhaps it would put paid to your new romance Before I collected my belongings I left you a gift I’d sewn a dead mouse into the hem of your curtain The smell of its rotting body would be hard to shift Bedroom action would be curtailed that’s for certain!

It would take a very angry woman to handle a smelly dead mouse long enough to sew it in the hem of a curtain. That's vengeance! Wrathful, and wonderful, Jan.

Jan Allison
Date: 2/15/2021 6:29:00 AM

You can just imagine the smell especially if its over a radiator pmsl;:-) hugs Jan xx

Wonderful write, Jan.. I reminded me of a video capturing a young woman banging and breaking the hick of a black SUV. The bystander recording the incident and calling the police on her. I wonder who had the last laugh; her or the boyfriend.
