Divorce

Divorce Let me start by giving you a small anecdote About a husband and wife at the divorce court Ranting and Raving till the judge ponders why Screaming “I hate you “, An obvious lie. The wife began yelling, I’m so glad that I left The husband then sneered “Oh I’m terribly bereft” The counsellor knew this wasn’t a different case Just two people trapped in love’s crazy rat race The love there was evident though cleverly disguised Refusing to see things through the other one’s eyes “His temperament is terrible and he’s really unkind” He snarled at judge, “She’s out of her mind Before I proceed to grant your decree You have to be more specific with me Was each moment unbearable these seven years? The husband shook his head and the wife was in tears Was your journey together horrible from the start, Arranged Marriage perhaps, not matters of the heart? They sheepishly mumbled “It was our very own plan” Back then she said, “I loved this man” The counsellor sighed, “ then I must request you To give it six months before you are through” You have to live together before you part ways I’m really not sure we’d survive six days! Well coexist you must and peacefully too, Though the task ahead seems arduous for you. “For an hour each day, put your phones aside” “No TV for him too”, the wife cheerfully cried You may sit in silence or do a household task But It must be done together, is that too much to ask? Separation is assured when you return to this place I will ask for nothing more before I settle your case They went away pensive about the situation at hand Live together they must at the judge’s command At the end of six months they walked back to court Well you‘ve certainly come back on a different note. Our disagreements back then seemed larger than life The counsellor laughed, what’s a marriage without strife? The judge then wondered where he would be now If he’d tried in his own life to stay wedded somehow Every day he regretted his decision to separate It’s a sad revelation when you realise “It’s too late.
