Mr Whitely




Mr Whitely,
holding tightly...
sighed.
Then puzzled slightly
breathing lightly...
died.

Mrs Whitely -
though fit and sprightly...
retired.
Not as brightly
later; politely...
enquired.

The doctor - rightly,
treading lightly...
explained,
"twice nightly"
the cause most likely; remained.
At ninety-two, with looks, unsightly
most of us refrain - quite rightly!
