Thortful
In ancient times the gods fought
in the wars of men for sport
and afterwards would carry a maid
to their tent as Achilles took Briseis
And Thor in the Viking legends
found a lass to take to his tent
and on the morn in gentle grace
thought to name himself and
said to the maid ‘I am Thor’
the lady replied “Oh yeth
tho am I but it wath worth it
wathn’t it”
Secret Weapon
(It was a bit like that}
It was a familiar scene
The romantic tryst was a disaster
There had been an affair
Now it appeared to be over
He had decided to wait another year
Until after his overseas appointment
She bravely suppressed her anguish
And so they parted
The friend standing by said to him
“She seemed to take that very well”
‘Yes I thought she might make scene’
“You were spared her secret weapon”
‘What do you mean?’
“If you really love her follow her and see”
He ran and found her sitting on a bench
She was weeping and sobbing her heart out
He held her and said ‘I’ll be back’
She said
‘I don’t care I can’t live without you’
The weapon had been revealed
He proposed on the spot
What man can resist a woman’s tears
