"Is that Mrs Perkings I see over there,
Who is that man she's with?
That's not her husband
of that I'm sure,
and her brothers away at sea.
He offers his hand
and she takes it,
and blushes
well what ever next.
Old Mr Walsh he looks chirpy today,
Oh I see the reason why
she's half his age
with the same complextion,
must be his daughter or neice,
And there is my lover
my hearts secret desire,
coming to my booth.
We will be wed now a widow I am
to live my last days in his arms,
is a fitting ending indeed.

Ok I agree with you so I changed it, Not been writing for weeks, but was never any good any way, I always think in speach, which poetry isnt usually written in.

This is great...quite humorous in a very classic way. And what a perfect name for her...Mrs. Biddy...
I should think this will do very well in the ocntest!
Great poem!

This is a lovely poem. Especially the first nine lines are perfect. Such a great flow. I could almost sing the lines. It's a pity that you did not keep up that flow till the end. I know that's very hard to do, but .... I had to tell you. Anna.
