That Was Then, This Is Now


            Now he wants her back... 

      The same cad who called her 
     "Unattractive" and "overweight" 
               a moon or two ago,
                   and demanded 
   she shed a dozen or more pounds,
                          or else.
                 Before she could 
             do away with just one,
            he coldly discarded her 
          like trash for a sexier lady.

            Now he wants her back...

             An ugly duckling then,
she has beautifully blossomed into 
   a sultry, glamorous woman now.
                Guess who's back?
                Yes, the same cad,
bothering her for the second chance 
                 he never gave her; 
             the lady he left her for
               has since moved on 
                   to a better man.

             Now he wants her back...
               Ha! Too little, too late.
