It wasn’t Lizzie Bennet
that Mr. Darcy admired,
it was her pretty bonnet
that he much desired.
It would be with pride
and without prejudice
he’d share it with his bride
and have hours of bliss.
He felt very secure
of his masculinity
but the chapeau’s allure
might prove a liability.
Some people may deride,
women would scorn:
it’s only the distaff side
that know how it is worn.

It is a beautiful morning and the sun is shining. Just the right ingredient to inspire a bit of light poetry and it is gratifying to know that it can raise a smile. Thanks for reading and commenting on this, Bee.

This one made me smile Luigi.  Delicious rhyming and language (come sempre) and a lovely tongue-in-cheek look at P&P.

I've learnt what 'the distaff side' means now, Luigi! Rhiannon

It just goes to show that humour can also be educational, Rhiannon. I too learn something new every time I read other people's work.
