The Widow Still In Her Twenties

The widow still in her twenties and tender 
Can an account of her glamour render:
Jesus Christ, just her temporary darling 
She, sure to later catch a man with pounds sterling!

Hers is a prison with loosening chain
After six months:
The dotted with pains 
And tolerable don’ts.

Even with the longest, a full year 
Fully bounces back The Pearly Pear;
No deity to ever aver that she hadn’t tried fried 
Over some three hundred and fifty four days somewhat fried 
   
Soon, superbly ready for longish phone calls
And breathtaking male invitations to balls. 
With the craziest text messages taking chances; 
A perfection of forged frowns at desired advances…

A young widow wouldn’t too long wait by any window 
And doesn’t too long indulge her gloomy shadow.
