Sonnets: Husbands
Oh… the memories…some good, some not so good. Lady Penelope doth recall several marital liasons with wit and an inspired dose of wisdom in this week’s entertaining “Sonnet from Suburbia.”
“Husbands”
O’ was it husband one or two or three
who taught me properly to cook a fish
while pointing out the dimple in my knee
and promised he’d fulfill my every wish?
Or was it husband three or two or one
who loved chorizos in his scrambled eggs?
One loved to dwell in pure oblivion
just thinking of the space between my legs.
O’ was it husband one or three or two
who hurled a cup and saucer at my head
as curses, screaming ranting all round flew?
yes, certainly I wished that he were dead.
From dreams I have awakened and I see
my sole salvation was in number three.
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
