Little Willie Gets A Wife 

 

Little Willie went and married Kate,

and turned out to be a rotten mate.

But she took care of her cheating man

when she killed him with her frying pan.

 

 

The Prompt:

We'll start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.

That'll be that last time he comes home with lipstick on his collar asking "What's for dinner honey?"

These Little Willie poems are a hoot.
A. F. Stewart Apr 2, 2012, 10:41am UTC
Indeed, the very last time.
Yes, the poems are delightfully dark and funny.

Poor Little Willie, he's taking a whomping today!

True, and in this case right in the face, with cast iron.

A. F. Stewart Apr 2, 2012, 5:23pm UTC
Those older pans have more heft and durability.

One of the more versatile kitchen utensils.

Was it a slow death of corned beef hash; evening, noon, and night?
A. F. Stewart Apr 10, 2012, 7:58pm UTC
No, a quick death from too much iron contacting the skull.
