Charles Messina Poet Limerick

Almost Divorced

I near got divorced from my marriage 
Eyes wandered, as I walked with my carriage 
It was on St. Patrick's Day 
When I stopped a girl to say... 
Hello...instead of shopping for cabbage 

My wife saw the girl give me a smile 
She noticed as she walked down the aisle 
I forgot the potatoes 
Cause I saw her tomatoes 
But they were green, and that's not my style

Sara Kendrick February 19, 2019 at 4:28 PM Creative one. If going to the market caused divorce then I would not have made it 57 years. LOL.. I guess it is what one does at the market. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara
