Deb M Poet Rhyme

-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!!

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?
