A quadrille for dVerse Poets on theme of “sleep”….
______________
things got hot in egypt
when potiphar’s wife urged
young servant joseph
“come, sleep with me!”
he refused to dishonor master;
resisted by fleeing without cloak
which became false evidence
potiphar’s wife deceitfully
cried “rape!” which swiftly
landed joseph in slammer
integrity is costly!
