Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Lady Penelope doth ghosts a friend. Of course, she does. You sure don’t want to mess with Lady P, Ladies! And don’t forget to pick up Penny Peyser’s (Lady Penelope) brilliant newly released book, “Sonnets from Suburbia: More Candles Than Cake”.

Lent

 

You wonder why your calls I don’t return

When time and time again I have expressed

Displeasure at your lack of all concern

For matters I hold closely to my chest.

You blithely blather what in confidence

I have revealed to you and you alone,

And when confronted with the evidence

You barely make an effort to atone.

I’ve gotten your e-mails and one short text,

Such pleading and cajoling for reply,

However I’m convinced they’re some pretext,

Another opportunity to lie.

Perhaps you feel I only need to vent.

If truth be told, I gave you up for Lent.
