Revenge Upon Revenge Upon Revenge

REVENGE UPON REVENGE UPON REVENGE 

There was a young
Woman called Mrs. Dancy
Always dressed so fancy,
Used to gossip and flirt a lot,
Which was a bad fault.
Mrs Dancy was a butterfly
Fliiting and flowing
From one lover 
To another.
Her first name Nancy,
Always wore a low cleavage
She was thirty five and good
Looking, her revealing shorts,
Didn’t hide much, her boyfriend,
Encouraged her role
In the village, he had a goal,
And it worked, every husband
Was mesmerized by her beauty,
Her body and her long blonde,
Hair, she had one eye brown
And the other blue, which
Worked out to her advantage
Keep it quite, said the men,
The wives must not get to know!
But the wives in the village,
Were quite sure,
That two knocks on their door,
“meant” meet me, so a plan
Was devised
By the wives,
They watched and waited,
Nancy, done with her duties
And paid handsomely,
Arrived back home
To find Mrs Brown
Enjoying a roll in the hay
With her boyfriend,
And every day
Another wife was found!
Nancy revealed all 
To the husbands,
Who could not scold their wives,
For everyone was guilty,
So sorry’s were said quickly,
What they were about to hear,
Filled them all with fear
One Sunday her boyfriend said,
Well Nancy my dear,
Tomorrow I’m out of here,
But I leave you all with
Something to remember,
I have the clap,
And now so do you all,
And the husbands 
From their wives promiscuity,
I guess I’ve ruined your lives,
Time to go back
To my wife,
And our children, of five,
So he left,
With his theft!
Nancy sought out his wife
Told her that she 
Had lived with
Her husband for a while,
And that he had the clap,
What a nasty chap,
Does he think I don’t know
said his wife,
He has always been so
Going to and fro
But hear this Nancy, said his wife
None of the five,
Are his, 
Gee whizz
Said Nancy,
Good for you
My lips are sealed
But don’t ever think 
that I’ll say ‘I do’!

Hi Harry, I am so pleased you enjoy my story telling sometimes I get carried away with myself and don't want to leave Fantasy land. Ricky would love to go to Eland Road he has been to England but they were only there for four days and his hopes of ever seeing a live game now are truly remote at least for another couple of years. Leeds United came to Johannesburg when Mcallistair was the Captain and I had to rush forward as they were getting on the bus and he took a photo with Ricky - he was 8 years old- he still has that photo and treasures it. Blessings Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, another wonderful write from your pen with the stongest morals. I guess I shall be like the others in my love at the twist at the end of this piece. I love the content. It is sad that there are such people as this in the world. One is always hearing stories. This one is a complete Wow. Have a wonderful Monday. Blessings and Hugs....Mike.

This temptation first happened with Adam and Eve, and thus it continued , not to the extent of the people in my poem, but they disobeyed GOD, good and light. Thank you for your continued support Mike, it is really appreciated. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

G'day Jennifer ... even though the morals in this poem of yours are loose, the moral of the verse is very strong indeed. Eventually the devil destroys the entire community - great story Jennifer - Lindsay

The evil in life lurks everywhere, and is ready to tempt the weak and vulnerable! But it will never win, light and good will rule in the long term! Blessing my friend Lindsay. Jennifer.

Yup, she sure did MLK, and probably will again, these sort of people don't seem to ever learn from their mistakes, they keep repeating them. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

- A skilled "player" has with this got the selected woman on the hook, and from there it is actually him who controls the game, regardless of whether she thinks it is her :) - Fun to read, Jenny ... skillfully written - Although this is imagination ... I think it could be true :))) - hugs and love // Anne-Lise :)

Fun and messy and well-written and a great story to warn our teens what not to do! I wouldn't fancy being Nancy Dancy.

Hi John, we have had a very busy patch with our business the past two or three weeks and I could only get to answering everyone's comments in bits and pieces. Absolutely, there are such weird people in the world, one only has to listen to the world news, and all these tips for writing such an intensly messy poem(quite agree with you) are offered to us on a platter,I don't belong to any social media, well not actively in any case, too much going on with Planet Earth right now. Thank-you John for all your support and friendship, I value it! Blessings, Jennifer.

Very much my imagination S.O, definatel not true but over the years I have seen and heard bits and pieces, so I rolled them all into one story - there are people, and there ARE people, sad to think human beings like this exist. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
