Maiden Aunt for M'Lady Siddartha

poem

 

Maiden Aunt

 

She smiled her constipated smile.

A spinster of a certain age

as she condemned the modern style.

Moustache bristling with righteous rage.

 

It isn’t right her constant cry.

The freedom the young have today

Their attitude I must decry

 we weren’t allowed to act that way.

 

I was taught virginity

 was some thing ladies should retain

 and not surrender easily.

 Once lost something you can’t regain.

 

A girl should wait until she’s wed

Before allowing liberties.

I repeat what my mother said

Young ladies must act properly.

 

 What makes me mad is I missed out

Nobody ever fancied me

Except the butcher’s boy a lout

 of lower social class than me.

 

So I retained my maiden hood

 more accident than good intent.

 I would have lost it if I could

 if I had found a likely gent..

 

I must confess I’m envious

a touch of green eyed jealousy

What makes me frankly furious

 I lacked the opportunity

.

 I think I would have given in.

In fact I bloody sure I would

If I had ,had the chance to sin

 instead of acting like a prude.

i found such fun reading this
think upon myself what i thought
of as being so gross as i discussed
with a friend but as i discovered
she had it done and told me that
is was bangin so soon thereafter
i was to have done too. what you
think -- crazy

I have to giggle at this one. the humor is undeniable. I appreciate the way you write formed poetry with such vibrance, never contrived, never forced yet skillfully created - some of my sincerest attempts at form poetry often limp out as 'bad country lyrics' but this writing is delightful.
