Kindly Interference Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

She lived alone because she chose,
she had no time for fickle men.
She had been hurt I must suppose
and was afraid to try again.

He lived alone but not by choice.
His secret dreams he would not voice
because he too had been betrayed
by a cold hearted selfish jade

They both had friends loyal and true.
Who secretly conspired to
attempt to make them change their mind.
Although the fates had been unkind.

And they succeeded very well
though none of them will ever tell
the happy couple what they did.
Some things are meant to remain hid.
