Hold on to your panties, briefs
Facts are quite disturbing
Trivia’s number one beast
Reason relationships suffering
Tales racing across my table
are so ridiculously laughable
But for their serious nature
Couples - victims to hysteria
Forgotten are days of courtship
Spontaneous smooches on lips
Love – the constant sweet pain
Desire – silent partner by name
Just yesterday, was it? Yes
Jane began to undress
Husband Paul made comment
Days later - D papers are sent
What! Paul was stunned silent
Could not believe predicament
All he said was, “Honey
Is that a pregnant tummy”?
Jane, ever conscious of figure
Felt this personal attack on her
Was she (in your opinion) fair?
Does it matter? Do you care?
Footnote: D papers = divorce papers
