“To Be Perfectly Honest––”
(What I Really Wanted to Say)
3 Quadrilles

*As much as I enjoyed your first hundred family photos,
could we perhaps switch to conversation of a less familial theme?
*No I’m not ill. I’ve spent two years starving and a fortune
on appetite suppressants. Couldn’t you just tell me I look fabulous?

*I believe my husband has seen enough of your cleavage
for one evening. Could you cage them?
*Your poem’s triteness is equaled only by its misspellings.
*I am curious. Have you ever wondered why only beautiful women
want you to ask them to dance?   

*Be honest now. Would you ever have thought
to eat raw fish if it weren’t all the rage?
*Sorry, but Walmart art doesn’t count as a collection.
*When people back away from you, it’s likely
they don’t want you to advance on them again.

 

The dVerse Poets link today is “Honest.” Instead of one quadrille, I did three. Don’t complain. You’re lucky I didn’t do five!
