Marilyn Williams Poet Light Verse

Who Cares Anyway -- Read

I read him my poems and he said, Oh I feel so sorry for you.
Had I read him a newspaper, would he still have felt sorry?
To read him a novel of mine, would have been too long 
and would he have lost interest by now? 
But I read him some old love letters, 
now, he is really sorry for me.
