Cheap Vcr

(This is a fictional poem) I'm all alone and I feel remorse. A cheap VCR caused me to get a divorce. Many people say that was a silly reason for our marriage to end. I lost the love of my life and I haven't seen her again. Two years earlier I filmed the birth of our son. Now I'm all alone because of what I've done. I decided to save thirty bucks by buying a generic VCR. She hit me so hard that I'm still seeing stars. I never made any copies of that tape but now I wish I had. My cheap VCR ate the tape and my wife sure was mad. When she saw the ruined cassette, she went ape. I tried to run but I couldn't escape. She beat me so hard, I had never seen such abuse. When she got a hold of me, she turned me every way but loose. I'll give you some advice so you won't suffer my terrible fate. When you buy a VCR, don't be a cheapskate.
