Two out of three ain't bad....

Helen set me three challenges on #Maelfroth.
1) To write a sonnet
2) To conquer an empire
3) To compliment her husband



I cannot conquer you an empire, sweetheart
I haven’t the equipment or the skill
But I can write eight rhyming lines of doggerel
And make them scan. So I believe I will,
Of your dear handsome, kind, creative husband,
This poor poetic effort now in praise
Write, to compliment him and achieve your challenge
Two out of three ain’t bad, on these hard days.

poetry, bored
