[ CA ] Harvesting Elizabeth

          
Homecoming          
           
Regarding [re]unions, this one in particular            
was far more deranged than arranged          
marriages get, given he only tasted Elizabeth    
---simmering leftovers on burner Bunsen style         
while her potential selves were yet to be actualized          
           
Till Death Do He Parts With Them          
           
As far as eccentric and wealthy, older men          
are concerned ( in this case, very concerning )          
Henry was as lecherous as they came          
---insatiable, increasingly incapable---            
never having enough of his nubile bride[s]          
           
Elizabeth Was No Exception          
           
Granting her free reign to royally roam          
he left her alone in their expansive home            
to play with all expensive things pretty          
( including herself ... ), though warned          
she was to stay out of that one room          
           
OFF LIMITS          
           
Elizabeth resisted temptation ... at first          
but being as simple as simple girls can be          
the hunger and thirst to know what Henry          
saw in her simple self was an overwhelming          
cabineted curiosity to her feline design          
           
Truth Can Be Stranger Than Science Or Fiction          
           
What she discovered---! Incomprehensible!            
Couldn't even begin to wrap her mind around          
her new husband's disturbing hobby;          
Elizabeth was not the only young woman          
he was into with his playing God
