Roscoe and His Ex

Roscoe And His Ex

By Elton Camp

Years later, it still did vex
The wrongs done by his ex

After she’d taken all his dough
With another, away she did go

His car she drove away, too
That they wed, Roscoe did rue

It nearly drove him wild
When she had a little child

Another wife he couldn’t get
He was still paying off her debt

Since she left him up the creek
Revenge Roscoe decided to seek

A present for her kid he did get
It was a big, beautiful drum set

He could then call out, “Hooray”
For his evil ex Roscoe did repay
