My Subscription Cancelled

I once dated a Woman who was called Margaret Radd,

And she had an obsession that had grown rather bad.

She collected Magazines; had a thousand or more;

They stretched to the Ceiling and littered  the floor.

When she filled up the Attic, the Basement would do;

The Bedroom was cluttered; and even the \'Loo\'.

Editions on Beauty, Fashion and Art; 

The subject unknown that\'s not dear to her Heart.

With : Harper\'s Bazaar\' and some rich  \'Vanity Fair\' ;

\'Cosmopolitan\'  \'Alure\'  and the Chic  \'Marie Clair\'. 

Magazines from all decades Glossy or Plain;

Small wonder the shelves could carry the strain.

A Mountain of such could be seen in the Shed;

A Monument of sorts to a craving well fed.

For I once dated a Woman who was called Margaret Radd;

But I ended the affair for all the ISSUES she had.
