She Who Has No Mirth

The disdain shown by her little moue
Pasted on her face was lots of woe
We gave her a wide berth
Because she had no mirth
As welcoming as a fractured toe.

Connie, I finally had a big hint from someone. She said make sure your syllables are like this: 9, 9, 6, 6, 9. You cannot go wrong. It helped me write one!

I tell you, there is a family member I know who is always calling you a "liar" if you use your imagination. She has no sense of humor at all, and unfortunately, taught school for years!
