Nine Times Pleasure

Sultan of Nanobad bed nine wives, each of them for each day of the week, but he would bed two for each weekend! His first wife he married for wisdom, the second for her poetic skills, the third and fourth for their pretty looks, the fifth to run culinary drills! He would brag the rest “for my pleasure”….. but wives loved him only for treasure! written 10/05/2021 9 lines, 9 syllables each line, nine mentioned once Michelle Faulkner sponsored A time for Nine poetry contest

A fun recollection of the life of this rake, the Sultan of Nanobad. When did he have any time for anything else??? Good entry for the contest, Krish. Best wishes.
