Perplex the Ex

Sunday I went to church late and slid into a back seat. Then I was shocked beyond belief at who I did meet. My ex was sitting smack dab in front of me on the pew, With his arm close around a woman, I didn’t think I knew. I wanted to fall into a hole and disappear, But I had to take the high road, now I was here! He turned his head to look at me, and I flashed him a big smile. Then when I went to sing in the choir, I sashayed down the aisle. My church was my haven, why had he come here? The sight of him with that woman did not endear. He had done this purposefully, I thought with dismay, But I wasn’t about to let him know he ruined my day. I sat through the sermon, but my blood ran cold. He had stepped over the line, he was just too bold! I was taken aback at the end when he introduced me to his date, Because she looked more like his mother, than a new soulmate! If he visits my church again, I will be surprised, For I know he had an ulterior motive he could not disguise. God works in mysterious ways…that is a fact. I left the church chuckling, with my dignity intact.
