A Visitor Came Into My Life
A visitor came into my life
Bringing pain and ecstasy
For every day of joy she brought
There were two of misery
She baked twelve dozen cookies
Then promptly gave them to her friends
Fixed my motorcycle
But wrecked my Mercedes’ Benz
She never told me what her name was
Though she stayed here for a year
Claimed to be a stylist
Then cut off half my ear
She said she wanted children
But none of them with me
Introduced me to her mother
Who was three years younger than she
She told me she could cook
But I very quickly learned
She could barely boil water
And even that was often burned
We enjoyed watching TV shows
Though she always held the remote
Whenever we had different views
She wouldn’t count my vote
It’s not that I was happy
To see her on her way
But now though twelve years later
I still celebrate that day
Forgive me for such a simple poem
which is neither accurate or true
But I do hope that you’re laughing
because I wrote it just for you
