In the days of yore
when whores were honest
When honorable men
made hays while the sun
shine into earth's garden
Two lovers loved purely
Purely as in
not the lady loved for money
nor the man loved for beauty
They purely loved each and each
peacefully
man condone irrationality
his lady displayed
lady ignored commanding trait
her man displayed
When lady sneezed
her man must know
When lady sweated
her man must know
When lady ate anything
her man must enjoy it
Her love was strong and
naive and
purely plain for her man alone
Descended
suddenly a day
when family was starving
no food to eat
man hunted to no avail
belly worms sang
angrily really wailing
their landlord tree stood
ripe fruits dangling
Lady plucked
shared with her man
the landlord sued them to court
for plucking
sentenced them to life suffering
Man grumbled and blamed his lady
The lady regretted her honesty
dropped her pure love for man
and wore the heart of whore
and infidel tongue.
