My husband is a drunken sot
Who fancies he's a genius.
He thinks he writes like Hemingway;
It helps to grow his penis.

M.J. Tenerelli, known around town, as "The Widder (or Widow) T." lives a secluded life in the house she once shared with her husband; a man who died in a mysterious driveway fire. Ms. Tenerelli, at the time, attributed her husband's untimely demise to spontaneous combustion. All poems written before the accident containing images of her husband on fire in no way foreshadowed the unfortunate front yard blaze.
