Happy Anniversary

Blessed union indeed Chalk up another one Another year of tolerated misery Are you really considering Suffering like this to perpetuity For the rest of your life Never anything nice to say Bickering and ing whatever the cause Using harsh words to tear each other down Life is so short and true mates so scarce Can you not focus on the things that do work Instead of constantly arguing Over every petty issue I win You lose The bitter chant of victory Is it not plain to see No one ever wins in your game It’s pathetic, cruel and inhumane Tongue lashings Out come the daggers Who would believe You’ve been married forty years Take a couple steps back It’s not too late to Start respecting one another Well, good luck At least try to survive Until your next anniversary AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on February 8, 2018
