Larry Lees and Lovely Louise

Larry Lees and Lovely Louise

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

Not meant to be...

"

Larry J. Lees said to Lovely Louise,

“You’re the honey of bees,

and the birdsong in trees;

you’re the lock for my keys

and the fish in my seas.”

 

In return said Louise,

“I am quite ill at ease

with your words such as these,

and so, if you please,

take your hook to Belize!”

 

Larry, on hearing this news,

did not let it give him the blues;

he covered his Weezie tattoos,

and booked a Caribbean cruise.

 

Weezie was glad she’d refused ~

they just didn’t have the same views.

Before you dive in and get bruised,

be sure of the one that you choose!

I imagine this to a beatnik rhythm. Witty, lovely Rita, witty.

According to my late husband, I was "the bee's knees" and "the cat's pyjamas."

weezie was very foolish.

Thank you for such a kind comment, Rose!
I love how you use a little laughter to get a true and relevant point across where it cruises our mind with reality check. Many people tattoe things and believe things then to change their mind after finding out it was all false...A great write...:)

My mom once gave me a great piece of advice, "Never, ever get 'his' named tattooed on your rumpus." Ha! So fun, Rita! Made me laugh out loud as I read out loud. Angi~
