She was a good Catholic girl
wanted to be a nun at thirteen
but then – ran away with
a Buddhist called John
Shakespeare
who(it turned out to be)
was a drug dealer.
They married & kids
followed invariably.
Becoming Mrs. Shakespeare
not all
it was
cracked up
to be.
Enjoyed this one...the contrast of reality against aspirations :)

I like the bitter comedy of the absurd. If one could interpret the absurdity of life in a comic way and verse, it becomes a piece of art.
