Rubies Poem by Ima Ryma

Rubies

Rating: 5.0


Ruby Rose and Ruby Marie
Met as two strangers on a train.
While talking they found out each she
Was having lots of hubby pain.
They decided that each one would
Murder the other's hubby so,
During each crime, the other could
Have an alibi apropos.
Ah, it was a gem of a plan
That the two Rubies agreed on,
Ridding each other of their man.
Each one's hubby pain would be gone.

Each Ruby killed the other's him,
Who by the way was each named Jim.

A criminally good and mirrored poem of human weakness and guilt.
