YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR, YOUR HUSBANDS NEXT WIFE?

There was once, a clever man called Tim
His abrasive, smelly wife was called Vim,
Her head too big for her boots,
Such a nasty person, who wished some no good,
Tim being so handsome, got all the looks,
Whilst she was looked upon with disdain
Again and again and again and again.

They bought a house in an upbeat snobby area,
Her idea, and next door lived a lady called Sahra.
A cultured person whose background, much like Tim’s
Tim and Sahra got on like a house on fire,
Whilst our know all rude wifey, Vim,
Found her own kind in Sahra’s slobby husband, Skim.

Conveniently they had no children, Tim and Vim,
So got divorced, and then Tim married Sahra,
And now they have a pigeon pair
A girl and a boy,
The boy so young, yet so debonair,
His name is Terra,
The little girl blonde and pretty like Sarah,
Terra’s looks Latino like, just like his dad Tim, 
Granny s fav the little girl, whose name is Kim.

Well what happened with the slobs Vim and Skim,
Does anyone care, a true story I wished to share.

Well, sometimes these things happen. Sometimes they have a happy ending or sometimes some people get their just desserts. LOL..I like this story even though I think people should try to work out their marriage through a Christian counselor and through keeping all contained within the marriage. If for a contest, I think it could be a good contender. Way to go. Sara K (I like the names (Saraly and Sarael)

Yes a story but it had my attention. A little sad for the wife. I'm sure Skim and her consulted each other.

What an interesting story! I am really curious to know what happened to Vim and Skim. Do they make an ideal pair remaining lousy all their life. Dear Jenny, I greatly enjoyed your sense of humor.

Applause, Jennifer! Hats off to finding true love in rhyme! While opposites to attract it is always gratifying when two wonderful souls find each other! Saw this happen with two close friends as they found each other again! Blessings and hugs, dear friend!

We had neighbours who decided to switch partners and they lived side by side for a lot of years. The kids went back and forth freely and it seemed to work for them. True story. love phyl
