“Sinkhole” by Marge Simon
(EPUB | MOBI)
After much travail and heartache,
Persephone escaped from Hades.
She took up housekeeping in Florida
and planted lots of pomegranates.
But while tending her garden in early spring…
Hades, sipping a sentimental grenadine toddy,
was quite surprised when she landed in his lap.
