Taking Umbrage
A puddle from poison pen beckoned;A promise once broken was reckoned.
And under the laws,
The umbrella clause,
Determined their fate in a second.
The cad claimed he felt much remorse,
The judge decreed no-fault divorce.
And that shady fella,
Just like the umbrella,
His pre-nup held water, of course.
The judge decreed no-fault divorce.
And that shady fella,
Just like the umbrella,
His pre-nup held water, of course.

Here's this week's entry for Simply Snickers ’ prompt (“under,” “umbrella,” “puddle,” and “promise).

ReplyDeleteHi Linda Ann,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Four Mugs and a Crock, four Canadians and a Crock from North Carolina.
Your poetry challenges produce pieces of art and seem to me to be honest-to-goodness pieces of hard work too.
At a writer's conference this morning, after hearing a few speakers preceding me to the podium share their poetry, I switched gears, put my published columns away and read publicly, for the first time ever, one of my pieces of free verse and a rhyming song that seemed to fit right in.
I'll return with a verse or two at another date.
GH, also @ It Strikes Me Funny
