Husband Number Four

There is no other man that I adore more
Than my loving Husband number four.

But I secretly yearn for Husband number three 
For he was the best of all sexually. 

I sorrowfully kissed goodbye Husband number two 
He was handsome and kind but often blue.

I’ll never forget Husband number one
we were both young and loved to have fun.

Maybe if time is good to me and I’ll survive 
I’ll walk down the aisle once more to a younger
Husband number five.

Hello Nora Gibson ,so nice to meet you. Welcome to Poetry Soup. You would settle for husband number 5. I would settle for husband number 2. I am a widow. Enjoy your day my friend.
