The Duchess danced delightfully. <br />The Duke was cursed with two left feet. <br />Whilst she was dancing gracefully <br /> the Duke would simply drink and eat. <br />She kept her figure trim with ease <br /> She defied the advancing years <br />The Duke quite frankly was obese <br />oblivious to disgusted stares. <br />The Duchess died at sixty one <br />why this should be a mystery <br />The fat old Duke just carried on <br />still going strong at ninety three. <br /> I think this simply goes to show. <br />When your time’s up you have to go. <br /> <br />30-May-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.my space.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/most-unfair-for-m-lady-ernestine/
