In sickness and... 5th in sonnet series with DestinyDances |
| The Fam'ly Man Six months have gone by since you had your laugh The crabs have come and gone, but I’m still sore There aren’t too may scabbies on my shaft But syphilis’ more painful than before. The only thing which makes my pain grow less Is knowing that you share my aches with me Your father always argued with distress That I should share your burdens, don’t you see? He never thought that I’d amount to much He didn’t think a “fam’ly man” I’d make So as my fam’ly jewels in pain I clutch, I’m glad to know his guess was a mistake. I’m sure you think I’ve earned my sorry fate, But tell that to your pretty sister, Kate. Written in response to "Invalid Item" To view all sonnets together visit Invalid Item |
