Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be?

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Why do you seem so frightened of me?
And why are you taking tiny steps back?
It seems you are thinking that I might attack!

Oh dear, you look extra pretty tonight.
But oh, dear, your face is now turning white.
I need my glasses. Oh, where might they be?
Ah, here they are! Now I can see. . . 

This isn’t my house! And you’ve grabbed a knife!
Oh dear. Oh dear. You’re not my wife!
