Love me do

 She had only one leg on which to stand
 When she met a man from a famous band
 They got on famously and soon were wed
 But all was not well so the pressmen said
 Land mines and seals all done with a smile
 No one would guess the extent of her guile
 Then it was over the acrimony rife
 He tight-lipped she the much-wronged wife
 How it will end no one is sure
 This tale of the girl with a fatal flaw

Woody, your hat makes sense to me. That is, if you are wearing one. And if you're not, I still think your poem is funny.  
 
Maybe she'd have loved him more 
If they'd both been sixty-four . . .
money, money, money....

Thanks Witzl. Yes you`ve got a point re the ages, although somehow I don`t think, in this instance, it would have made a great deal of difference. 
 
Sorry you didn`t get it Joe..Perhaps the main protagonists are a little old for your tender years...and I don`t mean that in a patronising way! 
 
happy writing 
Woody

Woody, you ol' Slyboots! What you doing here, so far from home? Mind, its good to catch an injection of understated humour. Christ knows, as Ellie hints, this forum could bo with it. Tickling piece. Made me smile for a difference. Thanks for that. 
 
Slan!
I think I got lost...

Thanks Gerard. I think I strayed onto here by mistake. I must admit to not taking poetry too seriously, far to much pretentious waffle about for my liking (not here of course!)  
 
happy writing 
Woody
