Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Odyssey

After work I went to a bar,

Only to have a drink or two,

Ran into friends and time went far

Into the night, so what to do

To tell the wife why I was late.

So when I did get home, I said

I had to drive to the next state

To a lake in order to spread

The ashes of a deceased nun.

Her sisters called upon my aid,

And I became the chosen one.

The whole round trip, I prayed and prayed.

From the wife's glare, I Odyssey

The wife sure did not believe me.
