Never leave stuff laying about if you don’t want it seen by prying eyes.

I once wrote a poem about a rainbow
I saw through a dirty window pane.
I left the dumb thing laying around
And sure enough the dumb thing was found.
It was not meant for her eyes to read
About her husband’s occasional misdeed
But she did and now I must pay
In a most appropriate way.
Here she’s standing with hands on her hips
And I’ve got pouty looks on my lips;
Now with this frilly apron I stand
With a bottle of Windex in my hand.

    Some ironies of life have a funny side, like the story you tell in your well written poem.

  • Goodselfme on Sep 11, 2009

    You always seem to give your poems a twist of some sort. Cute!

    An interesting kind of poetic justice to the second power

  • Cynthia Bartlett on Sep 12, 2009

    That’s what you get for being careless.
    cleaning the glass is good for you.

  • PR Mace on Sep 12, 2009

    Just goes to show you should never air your dirty window.

  • teddybear55 on Sep 13, 2009

    Lol. I couln’t help but laugh after reading the sequel. Hope you got the windows clean enough to her liking so that you didn’t have to do them over. lol. I liked this one. Nice story telling in poetic form.

  • Kate Smedley on Sep 16, 2009

    Oops … well at least you made a funny poem from your misdemeanour!

  • Nisa West on Sep 18, 2009

    I should use windex more often. It may keep me out of trouble. I do need to wash these windows in my office… Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Clearly, this is a great poem!
