Rich White English King Seeks Mistress

2 Nov
May I call you my benevolent Queen?
I am new to this whole Internet thing.
Off with her head! I give you her jewels!
 
My first wife was my dead brother’s old wife—
she did not bequeath me with a new king.
May I call you my benevolent Queen?
 
My second, boy, she caused a lot of strife.
I regard her more as a royal fling—
off with her head! I give you her jewels!
 
I promise, with you I shant touch a knife.
If a virginal beauty, get more bling!
May I call you my benevolent Queen?
 
My Court entertains with playing of fife—
though you must will to be my calm spring.
Off with her head! I give you her jewels!
 
Answer my ad, I shall send you a ring.
Pleasure my royal rod, I shall make you wife.
May I call you my benevolent Queen?
Off with her head! I give you her jewels!
 

I hope I did not die a hoarder

I hope I did not die a hoarder

God help me if I died the cat woman—
not the sexy leather wearing kind from Batman—
the hoarding, oh-my-God-the-cats-ate-
her-face, kind of pathetic folktale fate.
 
Lord aid me if I died the leather face woman:
too much sun soaked on the skin, a fake tan
from indoor ultraviolet lit beds. I hope I die
as pale, red as I hurtled into this world.
 
Sigh…
 
I hope I was finally skinny, like old ladies so
often are in old age. Or did I die
in a sea of stilettos too tight, faux
furs, cocktails in hand, finally ready to meet the right guy?
