Englyn Unodl Union

The Frankenstein Monster Regrets Getting Caught

Frankenstein’s monster stands behind his wife,
waiting for her to find
forgiveness and a kind
word somewhere in her mind.

He strayed, after fifty years of marriage;
drink a couple of beers,
wooed a gal half his years,
now his wife is in tears.

Getting caught in the act, his main regret,
his wife has made it plain,
that his financial pain
is her financial gain.
