My Old Bag - Dark Humour

I lay my dearest Susan down to rest
Of tall tales and humour she was the best
An excuse each night
Wouldn't hold me tight
There's something I need to get off my chest

See, Susan was a talented old hag
Three men at once she quite often would shag
The gents often told
Of her lips of gold
and the tricks hidden deep inside her bag

I put up with her, turned the other cheek
She was built of strength, I a man so weak
Shame filtered these eyes
She laughed at my cries
Til they found her in the bag by the creek


*no bags were hurt in the making of this poem*

Hate to hear of the demise of such promising talent, alas I suppose she got what was coming to her... so to speak. Good one Tim.

LOL Some fun humor here, Tim. I'm guessing you put Susan in the bag by the creek after she laughed at your crying. Thanks for giving me some laughs this morning! Hugs, Carolyn

At the bottom of the creek laid Sue//but give the old hag her due//she made 'em smile//for quite awhile//I'm told, don't know if it's true.

I once took Susan for a spin, she told me you were a has been, no satisfaction, and no attraction, that you belonged in a loony bin.
