Back at you… determined not to be a martyr Lily took the law into her own hands….

I want to serve it back

With a wooden cricket bat

Just one great big thwack

Sends you reeling in the rain

I Paddle in your blood stain

“That’ll learn you” I feel no disdain

Bat in hand and now it is done

You are forever silenced and gone

Only vile memories of you linger on.

There is no post murder remorse

You broke me and ridiculed my flaws

No grief just justice in this final vengeful divorce.

This was an accidental poem and I suspect Lily is a distant relative of Fairground Fay. However as I searched for a suitable image of Lily….I came across the beautiful Lillian Gish. She was movie star in the silent movie era, and although she never married, she did have several love affairs, one notorious one with a director called D W Griffith. There were some who declared the relationship to be “an ongoing psychodrama” but I have no real knowledge of this matter. Anyway I feel that Lillian Gish is the perfect image for my accidental revenge poem. Both images courtesy of wikimedia.
