A Sunday In Winter

It was a Sunday in winter
Her health was at risk
Discharged from the center,
Wind blowing quite brisk
She asked him to come
Take her home right away
But he was a bum
He couldn’t be swayed
It wasn’t convenient
So he said with a smirk
De-icing his car
Would be too much work.
She called Uber instead
While he went back to bed
And that’s when she knew
She was dating a jerk.

Thanks so much, Deb. I appreciate the good words. I'm laying it all out there but I find it's good inexpensive therapy! Ellen
