Nobody asked and I'm not telling.
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCCXCVII)
We both planned for an early start, but fail,
And this despite our seeming promise, whence
Thy mercies 'lone prevail, oh LORD, from hence,
And I am thankful. Yet wherefore sans bail
This odd spate of the trots?! I'll stomach hale
Warm porridge, nothing else; groc'ry shopping thence
Nigh perfect: or'nges for yes, Christmas' sense
Reduced, and Noosa yogurts too, t'avail.
I'm even back in decent time like we're
On target. Leave for my shift, early, to
Be stalled too long cuz who'd smash whom as twere
While I was putting groc'ries 'way? I do
Not have the time, and fume. Swear that is poor,
And LORD, have mercy on us all, won't You?
