Goodbye, Good Riddance! (Co-Written With James Fraser)

With no toilet seats carelessly left propped up Oh, now I can be such a comfortable pup Please take your Playboys straight out that open door Then shut it quickly; I can take no more! Be gone with you, take all your shoes Your hairspray, make-up and your girly blues Three weeks of the month you loved me fair For the other week, I lived in fear MY shoes? Why you foul beast! Your odor eaters Didn't work! Your smelly boots rest in sewers Where they belong with that greasy hair goo That left ugly stains on pink pillows once new Your pants were too tight, I couldn't get them off I can now wear my own; no longer you'll scoff And as for your cooking my health has improved Your name on the rent book, phew! finally removed The credit card tab from your pub is gone now, too That hussy barmaid can deliver it to you And your shavings that clogged up my bathroom sink Will be mailed to your mistress fast as you can blink At least she knew how to look after a man In bed with you was like a flash in the pan At least barmaid Betty purred when this Highlander taunted She was sensuous, delectable and she knew what she wanted I'll remember you most when viewing pond scum You sure were a loathsome son of a gun I'm leaving this pit, too, so what the heck? I'll send a new address for the alimony check You'll get your money like you earned it before Dancing naked on the pole in the floor I took you in, clothed, cared and fed But it wasn't me that was in your bed

LOL, love it : ) Loved James' tight pants line!!! I've never heard of Robin Hood haunting anywhere, but who knows... Beth stayed in the middle of Sherwood Forest for a night - there's a caravan site there - but she didn't report anything (other than no phone signal LOL)

Great co-written Quatrain, Carolyn! Yes you are making a good writer-team. It is a shame that this is happening too often what you both manifested here! Thank you for your war comment on "Atacama", if you'd like to have a look, I also posted a German and a Spanish version, with the Spanish one being the original. Love, Gert

WOW guys it hard to see how you can still be friends. it was kind of sad the things being said that never leave a door open for someone to come back in. how getting a chuckle became more important than love. but don't get me wrong i enjoyed it. but i think it's better used as an instructual piece in concelling.

Carolyn and James, Very creative, real to life storyline. That's what makes it work I think. The two of you should collaborate together and write a book! Seriously, you make a good team. It's rare that you can put two perspectives together and make it work. Kind of like the perfect duet. Can't wait to see what comes next. Keep writing! Love Light Patty
