My Gift

My gift to you this day would be to say, I loved you and thank you too for all the things you did for me, like trimming the trees and “cutting the cheese”! For calling me “honey”, then spending my money And fixing the sink, then taking a drink. For killing flies and all the lies, Wandering eyes and your good-byes. For being so lazy and driving me crazy. So Merry Christmas. dear. I wish you weren’t q***r! By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: Dec. 17, 2017 "All Rights Reserved"

So 'loved' past tense in 3rd line is intended. This is great, love what I didn't see coming, how it unrolled dramatically. The entire feel of the poem suddenly veered in the most enthralling way. Clever and entertaining, you are! All the best ... CayCay

Yes, Cay Cay. Now you know why "loved" was in the past tense. Thanks for your lovely comment. You must "visit" me again sometime. :D Carole Duet

What a great piece...that ending caught me off guard. Sometimes it's good to vent and you've done it in such a creative way.

Enjoyed reading your fun-filled poem, Carole--a good depiction of love seen and felt in daily routine --with all its faults.
