Final Curtain

Final Curtain

With a tongue like leather 
She gave his face a pink blush 
Made no fuss when he turned to leave 

She embraced the final curtain 
Certain she now had the strength to be brave 
He was free to taste the many fruits he craved

Although I never saw that coming, neither did he I bet .. Good riddance I say .. better off without that kind of geeza ... 

Superbly thought through and worded Gwen ... Jeez .. I bet he's kicking himself now .. and racked with envy at the thought of those left to find you ............................................. I still know a good hit man by the way .. x

My Dear Gwendoline,

So much said, in so few words, our heroine at last able to face the final curtain, knowing that in the future, a new one will rise.
