L Milton Hankins Poet Vaasokht

The Last Straw

She said she had stopped loving me long ago
Now, her goal was to make me miserable,
Not the least of kind affections does she show
And her villainy is far more than considerable,
It seemed to start after our first year of bliss
Which is something I will surely always miss.

Enough! Enough, I say, of this utter travesty
For it is clear enough, she is worthless to me!

I'm not surprised that I rarely see the form used on Soup. Boy, when he turned on her, he really turned in the nastiest way!
