Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Sunny Dedicates Life To Strife

Sunny dedicated her entire adult life 
To trying to cheer up her husband Strife.
Strife was a garden gargoyle with a perpetual frown.
He was known as the most somber gargoyle in our town. 

We tried to get her to take a break.
But she was busy entertaining him with a rake.
He did not move, just glared as usual, in a bad mood.
He never smiled or ate any of her delicious food.

Sunny spent her life trying to get a smile out of him.
The prospects were bleak, hopeless, and ridiculously dim.
But she was in the habit, so she kept wasting every single day.
Trying to get Strife to change; which he did not do in any kind of way.

L Milton Hankins June 9, 2022 at 3:11 PM Personally, I think Sunny should find a "sonny" for the rest of her life and let Strife marinate in his gloom! I'm all for making a happy life for yourself!
