Nobody's Fool

by Marie Vonow (follow)

Marjorie was a plain country girl,
A talented cook, a good seamstress,
With a smiling face and heart of pure gold.

George was a handsome lad from the city,
A lady’s man, con artist,
With beguiling ways and self interest at heart.

Any girl would do as George asked,
Or so he thought when he spoke smoothly
Suggesting Marjorie be his ‘bit on the side’.

He stroked her hair, gazed into her eyes
And said, ‘My wife doesn’t understand me,
She just doesn’t fulfil my needs.’

He put his arms around Marjorie,
As they stood by the flowing river,
The moon’s round face reflected on the water.

Plain country girl she was, but nobody’s fool,
Marjorie pushed George into the stream
And singing she pedalled over the moonlit bridge.
