Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

My Gift

My gift to you this day
  would be to say,
  I loved you
  and thank you too 
  for all the things you did for me,
  like trimming the trees 
  and “cutting the cheese”!
  For calling me “honey”, 
  then spending my money
  And fixing the sink,
  then taking a drink.
  For killing flies 
  and all the lies,
  Wandering eyes
  and your good-byes.
  For being so lazy 
  and driving me crazy.

  So Merry Christmas. dear.
  I wish you weren’t q***r!

Andrea Dietrich February 25, 2018 at 5:41 PM hahaha. What an ending. Queer as folk?? OH MY!!!

CayCay Godwin December 19, 2017 at 7:47 AM So 'loved' past tense in 3rd line is intended. This is great, love what I didn't see coming, how it unrolled dramatically. The entire feel of the poem suddenly veered in the most enthralling way. Clever and entertaining, you are! All the best ... CayCay Carole Duet December 24, 2017 at 12:22 AM Yes, Cay Cay. Now you know why "loved" was in the past tense. Thanks for your lovely comment. You must "visit" me again sometime. :D Carole Duet
