Unpacking Royal Baggage

I try unpacking her baggage
Why does she have to be so mean
You would think she was royalty
Sitting in her chair like a Queen

I pick up all her dishes
The woman has not a care
It seems that perspiration
will destroy her perfect hair

When it comes to making love
Me oh my how my hands shake
That woman is uncommon
She points out every mistake!

A witty piece and your authors note made me laugh! :-) It's fun to read a "so outrageous poem, it couldn't possibly be true" and it feels like you had great fun writing it :-) blessings, lynn

Cute. Who could be that mean? I am surprised she lets you touch her. I take that as more of an allegory for providing a service as a servant. This is a lot like having Trump as president. He likes to criticize everything, and he doesn't really do very much except self aggrandize. All showmanship. The outer appearances are all that matter, and aside from the royal companions, we are servants.
