One Taming, Three Versions

Shrew:

An omelet,

A suitcase,

A change of clothes and then a meal.

Maybe.

A sonnet,

An altercation, with the consequence that she leaves.

Again.

…

Cool chick changes, reverts to wasp

“An omelet, bonny Kate? And sit.”

“On a moveable? It will not bear me.”

“I mean to bear thee.”

“Don’t go all Shakespeare on me,

I gotta go.”

…

But then she said

She would not come

Into my bed.

I said, “Your mum,

I wish her dead.”

She whacked my bum

I grasped her head

She said, “You dumb

Ass, don’t you tread

On me.”
