Never Bite a Married Woman on the Thigh
Never Bite a Married Woman on the Thigh - meaning Summary
Darkly Comic Cautionary Tale
This poem is a darkly comic cautionary tale that narrates an increasingly absurd chain of consequences after someone bites a married woman on the thigh. Its sing-song rhyme masks escalating tragedy—jealousy, violence, suicide, and accidental death—so the trivial act yields catastrophic outcomes. The speaker warns against a foolish impulse while using black humor and simple narrative to expose how a single transgression can spiral into ruinous, surreal consequences.
