Rich and Carla
The two fell in love almost too quickly
Rich and Carla
Carla and Rich
Wanted to get married
After only three weeks?
Rich’s mother and sister were invited to Carla’s folks for supper
On the book shelf was a marvelous photo of Rich and Carla
Rich’s mother’s feelings were hurt; she did not have that photo
“Lovely picture of Rich and Carla,” she said to Carla’s mother.
“What picture?”
She pointed it out.
“That’s not Rich and Carla, that’s Carla and Donnie, her ex.”
Rich’s mother looked a bit closer at the photo.
She walked closer to the photo.
Same hair, same expression, same eyeglasses.
The hair stood up on the back of her neck.
