Don’t you knock upon my door, I find you utterly scurrilous
And don’t you deign to speak to me, you who are discourteous
A pathetic poet-singer, to think yourself a second Orpheus
No romantic poet, you, but a caricature hilarious
My, but you stand upon a pedestal precarious:
That you consider yourself the worthiest;
That of you any other would be envious.
You wonder that I dumped you at the earliest?
Fortunate you, I am no murderess
Else I’d swing for you, you jumped-up Perseus
So now take note and walk away, for to your pleas I am impervious

Whoa!! That is excellent, Crispina.. How cleverly worded and devastatingly cutting! I love it!!

I was thinking of an ex, who after I dumped him seemed not to understand the words, No, Go away.

Well then he would have been utterly lost in this piece of poetic prowess wouldn’t he??

Unless the poetry was in the form of a Meatloaf Song, it would have been totally lost on him. 🙂

Wonderful poem. You have an advantage over him! You have the opportunity to spell it out in these sumptuous words.

I thank you, Though I think if I were to tell an annoying ex to leg it, I’d use stronger language.
