a study toward sonnet #1,416 by FisherKingKQJ
It was true love fifth, sixth, or seventh sight,
She was a solicitor, kind of cute;
She practised out a shop on sharp turn right,
I'd catch glimpse from my customary route.
But even so a serious chance was slight,
I was loyal to flagrant fancy, a brute
In leers of ladies' bums, unseen their blight,
A sigh in passing passed for good repute.
One mirror I found myself just with her,
Shoring velvet sofa, sharing sherry,
Chat was loose and light, our mood was merry,
I fielded cuddles as they might occur.
Marriage licence issued three weeks later,
Quaint aunt Katy, if surprised, would cater.
(Chorus)
o later
o expired
o passed
