It was parent / teacher night one evening at the giant school
Kayte attended. Alicindra went and hung a twinkling boule
(Thats a pear-shaped imitation gemstone) centered by her necklace.
Looking lovely as a mother, she attracted someone reckless.
Deevawsidadde (some girls father) also there, soon made pass,
When he learned that Kayte was also in his teenaged daughters class;
And that Kaytes Mom was a widow. Deevawsidadde said, Im single,
And the sight of you is making all my senses feel a tingle.
Did your wife die, like my husband? Alicindra asked the man.
No. I felt wed taken marriage just as far as people can.
I got bored with her and moved on, Deevawsidadde was forthcoming,
And the way you sat and crossed your legs made things in me start humming.
So you took the best years of her life, while better men commit
All their lives; and now youre telling me youve simply gone and quit
On your marriage vows; and you expect youll usher me from places
I would rather spend with someone who has never known embraces
Im already seeing someone. Hes from earth and fully dotes
On me, coming here whenever he has time, which he devotes
To the sweetest dates Ive ever had. So please unhand my shoulder,
Kaytes Mom answered. Then the look she gave him couldnt have been colder.
Deevawsidadde hated earthlings now, but they had Nonvors ear.
Soon his daughter shared some gossip that shed learned at school that year:
Alicindras earthling boyfriend was a 14 year old junior
Near her daughters age. Deevawsidadde would use this to impugn her.
He reported what was going on, although hed hardly closed
Any doors to having his own daughter-witness then deposed
By Duguda (one old friend of his), whod be the prosecutor.
Since she wouldnt date Deevawsidadde, shed have to lose her suitor.
Since the boy was underage, Kaytes Mom was summoned and was charged.
Ambloome went to earth and fetched him as a witness, then enlarged.
Alicindra chose to represent herself. Duguda used
Nonvors membership in LATERALDATE, which had the queen recused.
Trial began with opening arguments. Duguda said, Well show
That this woman is a criminal with some young boy in tow;
That although his size is different, she should not have tasted that fruit.
He was underage; and Alicindra chose to break the statute.
Alicindra took the stand and then was asked how old she was.
She responded, Im now 45. I met the boy because
He was at my daughters birthday party. Then more answers followed;
Though she didnt choose to mention how the boy was almost swallowed.
She was asked, Did you start LATERALDATE in order to obtain
Someone underage, expecting that the courts would then refrain
From a prosecution, if the boy was not from this dimension?
She responded, No I didnt. That was never my intention.
Then Duguda called her Viking boyfriend Stawmi to the stand,
Where he gave his age as nearly 15. Tell us: In your land,
Are there laws preventing women (thrice the age of adolescents)
From indulging improprieties as middle age depressants?
