Women of the Same Name
Denises
Denise 1 captains barges.
Steady as she goes! she went.
Having had it with Larky's imbibing.
Denise 2 climbs aboard Good Ship Drunk.
Organizing. Does his many closets first, un-
covering all the bottles and trashing them.
Larky orates painfully, abusing his
few friends. They, preferring the souse
to the louse, rashly vacate him. As does
Denise 2, in favor of a Latin stud
who likes their fiery dancing
more than firewater.
But a funny thing happens to Larky
after Denises. He sobers to the near-
corpse stage of Professing Puritans.
Denise 1 barges back,
taking him in tow
with a taut line.
His favorite proverb, When
the Devil cannot come himself
he sends a woman! goes mod.
Truly clearer now
for the first time
he substitutes God.
