Penelope

If faithful Penelope only knew
What her husband did for those twenty years,
Would she still have done all that she could do
To throw her admirers out on their ears?
Calypso, Circe, perhaps others too,
While his wife dealt alone with suitors' leers.
She might have given it a second thought
before unstitching all that she had wrought.
