F Word

We were teenagers when we moved in together My boyfriend now my spouse Young ,in love ,full of future Excited about playing house We would go to my mums for dinner She lived quite a distance away So I would always take my comfy flannelette nightie So when home I could get into bed straight away! He had said something wrong at dinner So when we left I was really annoyed Starting arguing with him in car To that he just completely ignored! His lack of response made me so frustrated Then angrily out of the blue this came “Don’t be so f…..n ignorant” He glared, pulled over “Get out of the car he exclaimed” I had never said the F word before until that night It unexpectedly came out of nowhere We were both as shocked as each other Catching us both completely unaware!! I defiantly marched off into the darkness Handbag clutched in hand As the Kombi sped off out of sight Leaving me alone ….not what I had planned!! Anger subsided ,reality stepped in I was in a flannelette nightie on my own in the night I ran and hid behind a behind a bus stop Until minutes later the Kombi was back in sight!!

This is so good, Deb. Believe it or not, I once made Deb get out of the car and I drove on. Of course, I came back and got her. I don't remember what it was all about now, but it was surely NOT one of my finer moments! OTOH, a man can only take sooooo much, right?
