Wished He Had Tried Harder with Wife Number One

John did not try hard with his first wife she was married, he was not second wife cheated on him served him right, he deserved that. third wife was an accident. They had gotten drunk in Vegas Too many chapels there and too many drinks Fourth wife thought saying “I am his fourth” was funny Her disposition was dour, she stopped being sunny. He got tired of her sense of humor. Fifth wife died of a cancerous leg tumor. At age ninety-two he just married wife number twenty-one. Wishing he had tried harder with wife number one.
