Quietly I'Ll Be Rude

Never given divorce much thought
Murder weapon haven't bought
Just a case of dog food

Upon demands of tasty hash
It will be ready in a flash
Onions seared big dude  

Not the crying or weepy kind
Getting even is on my mind
Quietly I'll be rude*

*Note: I would never do this.
I saw it in a movie once where 
a woman was being beaten
and abused by her husband..

WOW...now THAT is quite an approach! Great poem, Sara. Your writing entertains but makes me think. This is good!

You write so well...just hinting at a horrible choice...do know you well...but your light-hearted write leaves me in no doubt that you would never do this. Thanks also for your comments on my poem...cheers H.
