Don't Vex X Poem by John Sensele

Don't vex your ex
When love from grace falls
Cos Semtex
Strikes love walls

Once so mighty, so sprightly
Stood proud to defeat any cumulus cloud
Which off balance slightly
Couldn't speak or spell aloud

In defence of the right
Love from her heart demanded
In a grip so tight
In a loud voice commanded

From Ben and Betty
As they strove hard
Despite little cash in the kitty
Covered in lard

As love began to dwindle on the spindle
That fastened the love Ben and Betty felt
For each other which a swindle
Jealousy dared to melt

As Ben 's heart stolen
From him in escapades on a grenade
Fallen
From Hades began to degrade

The love that shone
Throughout a dark period
Blown and torn
In a sentiment synod

Ben told
Betty not to vex
To withhold
Opportunities machismo muscles never again to flex

Or else to him love vowed never to return
Whether Ben laughed or cried
Until Ben made up his mind to burn
Ubris is love to him Cupid supplied.
