Maribella Was Easily Pleased

He knew the hearts of his wives, and yes, he had two. They were hard and mean, and not easy to impress. He knew he had to cough up some real money to please both. So, he maxed out one credit card on one. And to the other he deeded his house. He did these things to keep them happy, so, they would be kind to his daughter Maribella. Maribella was the love of his life. At three, she was happy with a cardboard box and a hazel bush stick. He brought her both, and she played for hours. Giggling and laughing, loving her daddy like no one else did. I love this box Daddy! I love this stick Daddy! I love you Daddy! All of his wishes came true daily when he saw his baby. He did not care about anything else, for this was the top of the mark.

My only thought was...why wouldn't he just hang on to Maribella's mother and let the other one go. No one deserves that much grief!

I think some men and women fall into a bad habit and cannot fish themselves out.
