Bones and phones

A soldeir big and strong
With a musket a mile long
What do you think he did
When he found his wife in bed
Doing something quite wrong?
If gunpowder burns the flesh off all the bones
Should his wife of porn beg to be turned to stone?
What if he decides to condone
Coz if he bombed her -he was left all alone
No one around to make him his scones.
So all he burnt was her phone
Happy to be spared the gun
Now all she licks is his ice-cream cone.

Does the rhyme work?

Fantastic work. Lots of fun.

Well, this is a fun poem. And, combines both wit and tease; quite effectively. So, I doubt that many readers will feel let down by the flaws in your rhyme. The hideous Medusa of myth, was said to turn men to stone; and you ask if this "wife of porn" should share a similar fate. This read somewhat like a limerick, and your inventive metaphors give "a little extra something"; as well. Thanks for sharing. "Read requests" welcome too, and keep writing!

The ice cream suited better as title for this poem. Ice cream cone strongest and it wins. Best story Too good to ignore.

I wonder what flavor of ice-cream.
and yes, the rhyme and the slant rhyme work.
No matter how big and strong we are, emotions can cut us down in a second.
