Sonnet 96 – Elvira Is Slowly Leaving the Building

Sonnet 96 – Elvira Is Slowly Leaving the Building

She moves like Quasimodo, not Jagger
Her hair is white, her skin sags and wrinkles
To walk with cane has taken her swagger
And her day is ruled by poops and tinkles
Reading great books was not her specialty
Nor did she paint or sing or play guitar
She toyed with dialogue’s simplicity
She was an able worker, not a star
In short, she was simply not good enough
For a well read, talented, handsome man
Trust me, Angel, admitting it is tough
But I have to understand why you ran
May you find a Queen worthy of your throne
And makes both your brain and manhood moan.
