John Williams Poet Limerick

Retail Therapy - Poor Husband

An over-burdoned wife from old Sydney Town,
    Life on top of her and feeling quite down,
         So, retail therapy off she went,
      On Master Card two thousand spent,
     Now her husband is wearing  a frown.

Alternate last line options:

1.  Now her husband wears a frown.

2.  Now her husband's feeling down.

3.  Now hubby makes a whimpering sound.

I found it incredibly hard to write. However they are starting to flow now. I'm so glad you enjoyed the poem and the numerous endings. Kind regards---John -------thankyou
