Two to ChooseA Poem by David Lewis PagetThe sisters Newell were a shining jewel That would pass my understanding, We met at night when the moon was white Out on the communal landing, One was blonde, was a demi monde The other brunette to the shoulder, The legs of the blonde were lean and long The brunette a little bit older. I fell in love with them both at once I think it was what they wanted, For both, well versed in extravagance Their ego’s, each were undaunted, The blonde would stalk in her Baby Doll Next to her window, extended, The other, naked, would read a book Sprawling in view and bed-ended. The blonde was the first to invite me in, The other said she felt stranded, We sat together like kith and kin It’s lucky that I am left handed, They asked which one did I like the best, I said, ‘Now that would be telling.’ And kissed them both on the lips, to test As the tears in their eyes were welling. I had the choice, there were two to choose The blonde had said she was willing, The brunette said she was mine to lose, I tossed for them with a shilling. The blonde, I knew her as Flirty Anne Picked heads, and lost in the tossing, The other, I knew as Dirty Pam Was out in the bathroom, flossing. David Lewis Paget
