Retorts

A Retort

Petite you may be
Your verbal chops are lethal
The boys can now see
We dont like being called ‘wilted’
And videos that show lined old ladies
Are insulting to us sisters
For if we look that aged, please
You can’t be that much better!

A Final Retort

Roses may wilt, that’s for sure
But have you not heard of dried flowers?
Well-preserved, they continue to delight
Brightening any room, what a sight!
That can’t be said of tilting pendulums
Once out of use, they serve no purpose!
