next time, I'll get a good one

I demand satisfaction (spouted I to not one ear)
I want my maid and my cook and my servant to be here
I have been left here all alone and I find it very queer
that I must do things for myself, since you've up and disappeared
how could you ever dare to leave me after, lo, these many years
after all, you were the one I chose to fetch my evening beers
I put a roof over your head, gave you children to rear
and this is how you repay me, well, thanks a lot my dear
though I shouldn't be surprised by your petty, selfish fears
our whole sad time together was awash with your tears

It's okay but it's like you are talking about just your happiness and what she can do for you and nothing in return. You miss her because she fetched for you. What about her ??
Just a thought confused wave

Well I comment calmly because you never know, it just might not be serious like you say, which I am glad to here. Still nicely written though wave

When I heard of this poem, before I read it I thought it might well be satire, and gladly it is! I write sometimes a bit near the bone, and truth. I'm glad you met a lovely person to share your life with. applause peace banana

Very entertaining,although at first I wasn't sure
if it was your wife or you had gotten all your
servants pregnant "gave you children to rear."
Who knows these days...lol. Always room for
humour although I'd be set to duck some flying shoes!!
cool angel applause thumbs up doh
