Seven Wives

My boots have seven lace holes,
my shirts have seven buttons,
and I work for seven days
so I don’t want fer nothin’.

If I live ‘til seventy
I’ll take the rest for granted;
still have time for seven wives,
the same as grampy wanted.



A new poem (of sorts) for Imaginary Gardens....

  1. The colloquial language adds humour but also makes it all sound so authentic. Thanks for participating.

  2. Love the language but he might be wise to stick with wanting fer nothin' and forget about the 7 wives :-)
