failed marriage

Failed marriage In my village in the Algarve, I met a retired Captain in the US Army, he had a military walk and tended to dress like he was on a safari  He had a house in Florida with crocodiles on the lawn, he never said what he did when in the army. perhaps the catering corps  on his travel to see Europe, he had in Portugal met a plump middle-aged woman and decided to stay for a while, and since few spoke English I was his audience. One can say it was a perfect match for her dream was to go to America, she guarded him as a prize ticket falling in her lap after years spent in work in various offices Eventually, they went to Florida, and big was  my surprise to see her back two years later it turned out he had one more wife who lived  in New York, she was not pleased when coming to visit him, found a woman there Nevertheless, his Portuguese girlfriend cooked and cleaned for both of them until he died  So I married her
