THE MAN WHO IGNORED HIS WIFE


THE MAN WHO IGNORED HIS WIFE


How could you do it dear, she cried
You think you’ll keep me satisfied
How could you quit a Wall Street job
To muck about with every slob
A rising star---you blaze a trail
You’d shuck it all to run a jail?

Oh, my sweet darling, then she quibbled 
You know I love you…. ear was nibbled….
A cold look flashed—he’d not be played
Now stunned by truth--- she was afraid

She had ployed sex, she had coyed tears--
Anger now surpassed her fears
She screamed at him and slapped him hard
He studied her with new regard
He saw himself a man alone
Threw on his jeans and grabbed his phone.
He viewed his love in raw new light
Slammed tight the door, and said Good Night.

    ‡ Clap Clap Clap, If I Were A Man That's Exactly What I Would Do Also, Sweet Beautiful Victoria. Some Girls Just Don't Know How To Act As They Run Through All These Self-Scripted Drama Sheets That They Keep Stuffed In Their Extra Padded Bras, LOL. I Like The Way Your Beauty Puts It Straight Forward With No Bias Intents Just A Real Deal Chill! Bravo And You Have Yourself, A. Very Beautiful Day. My Love, Always, Rachel *
