Wayward-Thinking Lover

Once was a smart, forward-thinking young lady in Gloucester Her wayward-thinking lover she summarily oustered Since his libido he couldn’t control, Ceremoniously, he had to go And soon, thereafter, he became a carnival rouster.

Well, thank you. It wasn't my best, but I thought I'd see what everyone thought of it.

Yes, she was, Kim. I agree with your assessment. No, I would not wish him death!
