She always liked the bright lights-
Champagne and caviar.
Late hours in the night clubs...
Big bucks and fancy cars.

Just how we met I’m still not sure,
I guess I’m rather plain...
And every thing I was, and did-
Just went against her grain.

She started out to change me-
She fit me for a tux...
And said, “We need a sports car-
I loathe those Chevy trucks”.

The people she hung out with-
Were all a royal pain...
The things they found to talk about-
Near drove a man insane.

She finally said, “That does it”!
And, “You can count me gone”!
She swore I’d never make it-
She ranted on, and on.

“Without me you are nothing!
You’ll probably go insane!”
She may be right, you know tonight?
I miss old what’s-her name?

I miss the meals she didn't cook-
The bed she would not make.
The country ham she never fried-
Those cakes she never baked...

I get a lot more sleep at night-
I know that is a shame-
I guess I must have lost a lot...
I miss old what’s-her-name?

Yep, if you got to change just so your good enough to hang out with them and their friends, you don't need them. Enjoyed the story.

Damn but if that ain't the truth of so many impossibilities. This was a great read. Always enjoy your offerings.
