This is it and I'm gone.
Is this your sweet swan song?
You're right, I'm outta here.
I'm choked up, see my tear?

I hate you, and your guts.
Make sure the door is shut.
You're not listening to me.
Sssh! Wrestling's on TV.

That's all you have to say?
Don't just stand there and bray.
You don't care if I go?
If that's what you want, Flo.

Well, I could stay tonight.
Guess that'll be alright.
Can I get you a beer?
I'll make room for you here.

What was the fight about?
Later, want to go out?
Or we could fool around.
I'm horny as a hound.

Jerry, this was amusing at first read...but the deeper truth here is sad and oh so common...it speaks volumes. Good write my friend.

Yes it does, Lori. Although I wrote it to be amusing I was trying to make a point, and it seems, with you, I did. Thank you.
