Hanky Panky Poem by John Sensele

A diary entry invites tears
When a spouse realizes her significant other
Had been sowing her worst fears
Tangling with another.

A diary entry on a smartphone
Catalyzes the mother of Armageddon
When a cursory look for a ringtone
Reveals the extent of her partner's abandon.

A diary entry about a forged figure
In account books
Detonates the rigour
In which an accounts clerk hid hooks.

A diary entry about sins
Committed under the cover of darkness
Attracts not rosary pins
But harsh sanction that extinguishes happiness.
