John Gondolf Poet Sonnet

Sour Grapes

A Tribute to My Brother’s Ex

Your wedding was a story book event;
my brother thought he was a lucky man.
He’d sacrifice for you his every cent
to give you all according to your plan.
And you were destined for an easy life
that women always dream of when they’re young,
and yet you still went out creating strife,
and slithered through the night with snake like tongue.
But now I hear that lately tables turned,
and you got everything that you deserved 
when, by your latest lover, you got burned,
and that your precious pride was not preserved.
     And so to you I say with great profound;
     what goes around will always come around.

Andrea Dietrich August 21, 2018 at 6:30 PM That was clever of you to think this up. I am just stuck on this contest. Can't seem to think of what to write about. Good luck in the contest. You did the challenge well. John Gondolf August 21, 2018 at 8:28 PM Thank you, Andrea, I really appreciate it. I’m sure you will come up with something for the contest, you still have time. Besides you are the queen of last minute entries, I think you must work well under pressure. All the best. John

Brandy Nicole August 20, 2018 at 10:56 PM Yikes!! It certainly sounds like she got burned indeed. Your brother is better off without her. ~ Brandy John Gondolf August 21, 2018 at 4:19 AM Some people are never satisfied with the love they have. We are all better off without people like that in our lives. John

Jan Allison August 20, 2018 at 4:23 PM OUCH John and it looks like karma intervened and she got what she deserved. love the line about her snake like tongue sadly I know several people like that:-( hugs Jan xx John Gondolf August 20, 2018 at 4:37 PM Thanks, Jan. People like that usually get what they deserve sooner or later and then when they come crawling back with their tails between their legs we simply tell them "you made your bed now go lay in it." John
