Wendy's Ways

poem by: Charles Sperry
Written on Dec 17, 2022 

Dear Wendy is a loving lass, she keeps the grey at bay
In conversation I'm an ass, She shapes her speech like clay
Like clay upon a potters wheel, while I would fly away
But Wendy keeps up her appeal, a stream of words at play
Wending, winding, wandering wither where it may
Wendy's whining, wondering whether I will stay.
So stay I do and bid adieu
To peace and books and cozy nooks
While Wendy's on the prey.
