The Abandonment
​by Rick Hilber


​Seven wives, seven seas, and
No, I won't eat my peas.
Than you shall have no pie.
She lied, she did, and so it goes.
It was peach cobbler a la mode.
She ruined me with cream,
She loved me with seem,
She spared the rod,
She became the woman
Of my dreams. So it's off I go.
Seven wives, seven seas, and
No, I won't eat my peas.
