It's my sad duty to report
A change in Toerag's life.
It seems he'll have to carry on
Without his loving wife.

She told him that their savings were
About to disappear
And he would have to give things up
Like daily quarts of beer!

So, Toerag, so considerate,
Said he would do his part
And said goodbye to Coors and Buds
With quite the heavy heart.

Arriving home from work today
He screamed, "This is pathetic!
I gave up beer and see you spent
A hundred on cosmetics!"

"But, Toe", she said, "that's just so I
Can look good to you, dear."
"Oh, really?", Toe said, fuming mad.
"That's why I drank the beer!!!"

It didn't take her long to pack
And I don't think she's comin' back!

Toe's loss is another man's gain!

Oh, Deer! He's gonna have a hard time finding a woman as pretty as the one he let get away!

Toerag had quite a jag
When poor "Deer" had no beer
So "Deer" wrote
A poetic joke
And now has Toe's ex to fear!

Enjoyed!

I really don't know
who is more rascally...
'Deer in his golf environment,
or Toe in his, poetically....

HEY THERE BALLADEER! It's been quite some time and I have missed your humorous poems! I have a lot of catching up to do.  

your poem reminds me of how I spend too much money on cosmetics at sephora. lol.

'Deer,
I'm pretty sure there's a price to pay for the secrets you tell.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
