Marriage

I married my future ex wife
She stabbed me one night with a knife
She left me for dead
For a dude named Fred
I barely escaped with my life

Cursed for the rest of my life
It’s now twice I’ve married my wife
With a pipe of lead
She beats on my head
I’d rather get stabbed with her knife

Hi Mark, Great Limericks. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I chose the first choice. He should have hightailed it and never looked back. I enjoyed the humor. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day:-)Alexis

A pipe to head can be dangerous ... but then a stab in the right place...fatal. Look for one to hit you with a pillow...All the best Mark.
