Divorce Memories

Morning bed
Sheets tightly tucked
One pillow crumpled

There once was a gal named Linda
Oh the marriages she did get inta
Try as they would to be as they should
They never could even begin ta.   


Wanting a home intensely  evolved into creations of delusion
Life broke through, one let go, in freedom lay the solution

Interesting modification of that troubled girl limerick. I can't for the life of me however remember it. I do know a winner though and I know that this one is it. No contest. One of the best. You'll rank high in this contest. *TheKidsterWasHere*

Wanted to acknowledge the limerick is a modification from an old limerick about a girl who always got inta trouble heard long ago as a child.
