Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 The Lugubrious Wife

A lugubrious look the wife

Has, meaning her face looks sad,

As she's watching the rain in strife.

And it is raining very bad.

But lugubrious I am not,

Watching out the window the rain.

In fact a cheerful look I've got,

As I look at the wife again.

Ever since the raining did start,

Lugubrious looking the wife be,

As the two of us stared apart.

She looks sad and cheerful looks me.

The wife does scowl as I do grin.

I suppose I should let her in.
