Joe Flach Poet Quatrain

Victorian Ways

I wonder if now to her I should yell
Though she is so very far away
But I have a little secret to tell
Undergarments she left here today.

Now you might think this a laughing matter
Though her fiancé I’m sure would not
And nothing would make this handsome lad gladder
Then to her wedding to put it a stop.

But she is betrothed now to another
A man to which she sings no praise
A union arranged by her father and mother
God I hate these Victorian ways.

I did read the first poem, and almost soup-mailed you to alert you to the contest rules....but wasn't sure if you had planned to enter it...glad you caught the mistaken poem form and did it both ways!! They are both terrific poems...so glad to have you on board the Soup train!!! Great work..I love the humor of this one!! :)
