The secondary wife sits outside of Heaven
Selling muffins and buns from a basket.
The tertiary wife can weave any pattern
But only with her eyes tightly shut.
The quaternary wife can, when the moon
Is full, juggle four open bottles filled
With red wine and not spill a drop.
The quinary wife disappeared ages ago.
The senary and septenary wives
Have detective licenses and intend
To find her. There is no octonary wife;
The nonary wife is a ventriloquist.
