PERIODS

A trial period,
Periods are trying,
A particular trial
For those in (periodic) denial,
Brief periods spent lounging
In period furniture,
Furnish her with an excuse.
Who? You ask,
Taking her to task
Over a periodic table,
Mabel—is who—admirer of Marie Curie,
And her legendary chemical fable,
After heavy periods,
Prolonged periods with the wrong label,
Bleeding Mabel’s stable,
She’s wired but,
After a period of time has elapsed,
She sends a cable,
To her teenage nieces,
The little bleeders!
Making them peer—eerie, odd.
