![]() IN PERPETUUMA Poem by Norman223![]() Purely tongue in cheek!!![]() Oh For when in desperation, we've tried
separation How often we've found that we always get round
To rushing back to each other, thereafter to
smother Our faces with kisses, declaring that this is Because we are fools and we'll live by new
rules. You'll talk and I'll listen, I see your eyes
glisten. I feel my face burn -I then have to turn And leave - 'cos you're
nagging again D' you know what,
Jason? These recriminations Are part of your nature, when you try to inflate
your Failing position in a war of attrition You know you can't win, so why don't you give
in? You've already
admitted we both are committed To each other for
life, in spite of the strife.. The ironing and
cooking will stop me from looking For another career
- so year after year I'll stay - 'cos I'm now just a chattel. Dear Father, dear Mother, You're having
another Of your sessions of niggling, with each of you
wriggling Away from the fact that its all a big act. So I thought I'd just
mention that because of this tension. I now need a rest so I'm leaving this nest Now .don't start
your crying and continually trying, To say I'm to blame - you're always the same. So I'm off -
'cos I'm going to get married. © 2017 Norman223Reviews
