TOO LATE!

A  woman was peeved at her mate;

When they planned to go out he was late,

So she rang his friend, Basil!

They went on the razzle.

And he proved a much better date.

BLUE AGAINST THE BLUE

Blue sea, blue sky a  peaceful view,

Then why, oh why is she so blue?

She had been reading, or so I thought,

But, in an instant, she seemed distraught.

Her head went down, her shoulders bowed;

She acted defeated, sorry, cowed.

But maybe my imagination

Read too much into the situation.

What I thought was deep dejection,

Brought on by a terrible rejection,

Might have just been an aching head

Brought on by drinking too much red!

Maybe she didn't feel too bright

After carousing half the night.

I'll never know, and nor will you,

Why she looked blue against the blue.
