Very Lucky Indeed

Annabelle K. Peterson was an independent woman

Stubborn, stern, and never backing down

She considered Oliver C. Thrive to be very lucky indeed

For he had married her.

And he was lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

One day, Annabelle K. Peterson and Oliver C. Thrive

Decided to take the car around the country

No reason; just to kill the hot summer day

For they had nothing else to do.

And that turned out to be lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

Annabelle and Oliver pulled up to a retail shop on the outskirts of town

They decided to look around a bit, maybe buy a few things

"Don't spend too much," Oliver warned his wife.

But she didn't listen. Her husband was rich.

That was lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

Annabelle did spend quite a bit; she always did.

And Oliver was a little sick of it.

Now, you have to understand, Anna and Ollie loved each other

They loved one another more than anything

They were lucky to have each other.

Very lucky indeed.

But the thing was, Oliver was a little sick 

Of paying too much for his wife's desires all the time.

So, when she loaded her purchases into the car

He drove off. Without his wife.

But Annabelle was lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

Oliver congratulated himself when he got home.

He thought he, for the first time in their six-year marriage,

Had outwitted his wife. He thought it was over.

But, alas, with Annabelle K. Peterson, nothing is ever totally over

Which was why he felt he was lucky to have her.

Very lucky indeed.

Two hours later, a taxi pulled up in front of his house,

And out climbed Annabelle K. Peterson, looking smug.

She nodded to the driver, and thanked him in perfect Spanish.

Annabelle had taken Spanish in school.

That was lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

The driver opened the trunk, and lifted out

The two ugliest urns Oliver had ever seen

This, he realized, was his wife's revenge.

She had most definitely won.

She was lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

"See him?" she said (in Spanish), pointing to her husband on the porch.

"The idiot who will be eating dinner alone at a retseraunt every night this week?

"He'll pay you. Put the urns on the porch."

And with that, Annabelle went inside to begin supper.

Oliver was unlucky.

Very unlucky indeed.

But, he grew to love the urns.

Even more than Annabelle herself.

For they reminded him of his wonderful wife,

And all they'd been through together.

And that he really was lucky.

Very lucky indeed.

This is cute!!!! :3
i luffs it. i like how it tells a story at all. it actually reminds me of a nursery ryme kind of.
i think it actually takes much skill to write like this, cuz i can't.
I'm glad there are people writing upbeat poems like you, not just depressing ones like mine (:

I love how it repeats the same thing after each stanza! I don't really understand the whole part about the urns though...

[Willow]

I really like this poem. It's very quirky and cute, two of my favorite qualities in writing, even though I don't employ it too often. It has a nice flow and vocabulary too.
