Canterbury tales

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the Canterbury tales, but I had to read them in high school I kinda got inspired...  In total I wrote 14 of my own.  I wrote these in the same style the Canterbury tales were written in (according to my text book).  Also, I don't pretend to be any good at writing poetry.  I don't have the greatest faith in my work, if you follow this you know that, but here's one anyway...


The Seamstress
She was not of the pretty sort
But she did have men who were willing to court.
They had no interest in her, only her work.
And every time with a kiss and a smirk
Those awful men took her work for free.
But one day she said "Enough is enough!"
And she showed those men that she was really quite tough.
She put her foot down and said
"Never again will you do this to me!
I’ll get my revenge!  Just wait and see!"
She didn't have to think long before she came up with a plan
To get back at each and every man.
The next day she put her plan into action.
Acting as if she had great passion
For each man in turn.
She sung them a song about dark hearted things.
Before she finished she pulled out a knife.
And every man who had done her wrong, she ended their life.
