Know That I Too
We are never alone (a poem for mental health month)
The Toaster

The Toaster

A Poem by Paul Bell

The toasters on the blink.
I don't care, I'm leaving you.
I know you like your toast in the morning, but that's a bit extreme.
I've met someone new.
You never mentioned that last night when you were screaming, more, more.
That was goodbye sex.
I think I'll get a brown toaster.
You would put a brown toaster against a red background.
Hardly your concern now.
I designed this kitchen, you are not getting a brown toaster.
Think I'll change the whole decor when you leave.
That is just typical of you. You just can't wait to forget me.
I think it's for the best, cuddles. Maybe make it my man cave.
That's it, I'm dumping the other guy. I am not having you undo all my good work.
Won't he be devastated.
Who cares. Right, we're going shopping today.
Oops turned out to be the fuse.
Right, I'm going.
Going where cuddles.
Back to bed, do not disturb me.
Aw, I was thinking some sympathy sex, maybe get back together sex.
Do not disturb me.
Okay cuddles, I'll pop down to the tailors, get fitted out for your sister's wedding. I'm thinking bright orange, 
Oh my god, stay there, I'm going with you.

This is a delightful spoof on those couples (we all know 'em) who fight & f**k alternately as a way to ward off the boredom of relationship! *smile* Your own personal playfulness shines thru so bright, I often wonder if you're writing from firsthand experience *wink! wink!* Excellent job of making this fresh with unexpected details in a routine setting! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Looking back, that's what you want us to do isn't it? I have to laugh at the crazy things we argued about. Better yet, how these spats were resolved. I enjoy your insights.

Take care - Dave

She knew better, Dave. Or at least that's what I tell myself. lol
This made me laugh. Like many couples they get along best when not getting along. Your poetic conversation said it all.
