POISONED AFFAIR

From the goblet slowly sipped,

Of the poison cunning slipped.

To his wife he gave a nod

Not noticing how she acted odd.

 

From the Bank his money waned,

His loving wife had gradually drained.

To be with her new found love,

Her husband gone to heaven above.

 

From the goblet slowly sipped

Dark red wine, which she had tipped.

With a powder from her hanky,

So she could play her hanky panky.

 

On his seat he rocked and swayed

Not knowing that his wife had strayed.

Into her loving eyes he stared

And she gazed back as if she cared.

 

From the goblet slowly slipped

Dark red wine, from lip it dripped.

But his wife she did not care,

She wanted him to leave her there.

 

In that grand house with swimming pool,

She smiled too think he was a fool.

For she would live there in that mansion,

With her lover, dark and handsome.

 

From her goblet she then drank

Until onto her knees she sank.

For whilst she did conceal the potion,

Both the goblets were in motion.

 

Revolving tables come in handy.

Red wine, fruit juice or fine brandy.

And so the tables turned, you see.

It was she that died it was not he.
