The Lament of Heidi
Gotts
a villanelle
Heidi Gotts, bell hop's delight
Eric thought that she made him complete
Her wedding dress was ironically white
Just retired for their wedding night
Eric went to get Heidi something to eat
Heidi Gotts, bell hop's delight
Eric thought Heidi was Mrs. Right
Coupled since high school when they did meet
Her wedding dress was ironically white
When Eric returned, he received such a fright
He never imagined his bride indiscrete!
Heidi Gotts, bell hop's delight
The bell hop, I'm sure, was quick to take flight
Heidi slept alone in the Honeymoon Suite
Her wedding dress was ironically white
It was room service – but not quite!
Eric was shocked that Heidi would cheat
Heidi Gotts, bell hop's delight
Her wedding dress was ironically white
