Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

The Last of the Romantics

She was the only love he'd ever known

   For the cheap wedding ring he would atone

      She pined for a bigger "ice"

         A five carat stone would be nice

            The jerk bought her a one ton graveyard stone

Tim B February 6, 2012 at 12:24 PM And upon his epitaph shall he pen, "In life I was not nice, nay I did not get her that ice. But after my death... I shall pay a far heftier price." Ah, you capture the essence of what is wrong with society today, far too many of these self-centered and thoughtless pricks abound. It was funny yes, but it strikes a nerve :) Kudos sir.
