Notes About The Poem

1/5/2025 for Dumpster Fire Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Dumpster Fire

My friends, I am at the end of my rope - 
all because I'm an incredible dope. 
I thought two girlfriends was better,
but, when I sent them a letter, 
I put each one in the wrong envelope.

haha, thanks Eve. almost 40 years ago, I was a bit OCD (did i forget to lock the door?). I put a letter in the mail to an overseas girlfriend, and a letter to a woman who was like me sister (my brother's ex). the 1st letter was very sexy (x-rated). the 2nd letter was like you'd write to your mom. I couldn't get it out of my head that I may have put them in the wrong envelope: dumpster fire!

The two girlfriends were angry of course - If you’d wed them there’d be a divorce - To have there own back - Two got in the sack - Revenge on you was their just reward…… Beryl
