(this is meant to be seen at all directions and has been something I have wanted to express for a long time) I’ve seen how she writes to him in IM’s How sick is my wife to be talking to him How she is stiff when I walk in the room Runs from the keyboard and picks up a broom First it was poems, she wrote them at night Watching the T.V. I gave it no fight She told me her poems got lots of replies She was out of my hair, so why should I pry? Then I got jealous I’d have to confess. Getting too happy and acting the pest, She asked that I’d read each one that she wrote All replies were from guys I sure did take note. In her MSN, AOL and Yahoo There were plenty of girls but boys were there too I said, no more, of that site I’d allow She’d better not write and come to bed now! ‘bout a month passed and my wife was all sad She begged to go back, post poems and chat So since she was good I let her return (And if she was bad, I’d force her to learn) That’s when she met a new guy on the block Whose poems were good, she told me they rocked Every time from then on I walked in the room She’d run from the keyboard and pick up the broom The broom from her hands I smashed up the place “Take all of your poems right now and erase I’ve seen how he writes those poems for you He can just have you, get out and we’re through!” I read the history in ICQ Looking to find what I already knew I got to his name and read what they said But when I was done I was light in the head “Please don’t you write your love poems for me I’m happily married my husband might see” I thought we were friends, we were at the start Now you’re just hoping to waver my heart” “Come on you asked for all this attention Hubby don’t love you I think you did mention Besides I’ll just tell you, you’re one in a line Before its all over the chicks’ll be mine!” After reading these lines and just a few more I knew that my wife would be gone from the door I’m so glad that my life was turned on its side But with dogs out there lurking it’s better she hides!

Well, I am glad it isn't about you and your wife. *sigh* I am relieved that the love the two of you share is not going through this. Great writing......extremely powerful. Very well put. You sure know how to use words well. I almost got all emotional. Amazing work. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This is very good, Walt. Sad to think that this actually happens to some couples, very sad. |

I'm glad it's not you, walt - but there are many who'd have to admit that they fit the bill... and that part is sad - Well said - and not so wayout.. |

Walt..you are a good person...I appreciate your sincerity...and as Liz said...that is what poetry is for...mostly we are harmless...and sometimes there are those that set out to undermine. Ulterior motives aren't pretty at all...especially when your loved one becomes concerned. The web has many scheming thieves. Thank you for caring. Sincerely, Regina It's all in the mind |
