An ode to troubled marriage. This could just as easily be directed at men's behavior. This however was a bit of a personal poem, though not about my own marriage. Where the tone seems judgemental it's more about dynamics and mental characteristics, we all fault, some of us in different ways.
He's hard at work, she calls him jerk,
and asks him where he's been.
Of little care, she goes somewhere.
dancing drunk against her male friend.
She tells the gals, of all his fails,
they believe her, cause they're dim.
If they only knew, because it's true,
were he gone, she'd bad-mouth them.
Of rotten decor, no one has more
Ice cold, she believes herself hot.
No one's the heart, to tell the used tart,
oh my gosh, she simply is not.
He isn't all charm, he too has done harm
But at least he's set on the fix.
and putting this mild, I hate getting wild,
she's Hugh's rabbit out searching for trix.
Time and again, while they're on the mend
she pulls horrible stunts of aggression
She'll lose him for sure, her diamonds and fur
but hopefully life teaches her a lesson.
He's tired of fighting, and her words biting.
Divorce documents just one of her capers.
"woo me or else", he could be Michael Phelps
and set speed records signing -those- papers.
