Not a sestina exactly, sort of half a one. And I know it's an old joke, but I'm old too As friends we’d meet to laugh and sing And I would play the lighter part When in the woods we’d playful linger Inside our special fairy ring. No thought we gave to mind nor heart When through my hair you’d run your finger. But soft and slow you stole my heart Around your soul I’d always linger. You’d smile and deep inside I’d sing. I could not live each time we’d part And so upon your third left finger I placed your own engagement ring. Soon under clothes our hands would linger As lips hard pressed, fast beat my heart. It scarce slowed at the wedding ring Placed with its twin upon your finger. We swore that only death would part As ‘God of love’ the choir did sing. And now you’ve stamped upon my heart As leaving me you gave the finger Leaving me with just suffer ring
