Ruth and Mr. Lucky by pome lover
Cary Grant Movie Titles Poem contest entry


 
The Bishop’s wife was Indiscreet
She’d sneak out, Night and Day to meet
Her lover, Mr. Lucky, who
Was said to be a smart gumshoe.
 
“Well, Once Upon a Time he was,”
Said His Girl Friday, “but because
The trap he set To Catch a Thief,
Backfired; he quit, awash with grief."
 
The thief he’d caught was lover, Ruth!
And when he learned The Awful Truth
That she’d deceived him all along—
And really, truly Done Him wrong—
 

He said, “A bad mistake I’ve made;
I’m through, no more of this Charade.
A thief—the Bishop’s wife!  Ah, well,
Merrily, We Go to Hell."
