Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
When we first MET, you were so young and FAIR,
A hundred twenty POUNDS in your underWEAR.
We tied the KNOT, and the next thing I KNEW,
Your weight ballooned UP to 300 and TWO!
Your weight GAIN ended my infatuATION.
Lovin' YOU is like a chemical castRATION.
Several times a WEEK when your mom stops BY,
She starts in on ME, and I just want to DIE!
She gripes and NAGS, got nothin' good to SAY,
Then you and SHE just eat bon-bons all DAY.
Your family TIES only add to my frustRATION.
Lovin' YOU is like a chemical castRATION.
You decided that YOU'D take a drive in my CAR,
Just go to the STORE, it's not very FAR.
That short DRIVE ended up in a WRECK,
And my sweet RIDE was shot all to HECK!
I just wanna SHOUT IT all across the NATION:
Lovin' YOU is like a chemical castRATION!
