Click of the Bullet

Honest a catch-22

Hear the click...

Of the bullet, or empty chamber

Is it fear of death 

Or greater yet, reprisal 

Honestly in marriage 

Deadlier than a game, of Russian roulette

After 52 years of "diplomatic" inarticulacy, I can now say "Yes Dear" fluently. Glad I found this poem- I know I'm not alone. Loved your sub-title too.
I'm enjoying your offbeat sense of humour.

haha loved this one too, how very cynical of you but very true...a lifetimes promise, who can really be sure? Luckily the clicks I hear are just empty chamber so far....... :)

Yes, it is cynical but sometimes life can be that way. Although, you've noticed I've added humor. It's what gets you through the day. My first wife was actually British. She grew up in Hull. I visited Mildenhall a few years back. I love the coldness of England.

Ah I've visited Hull, I really liked the people, thought they were very friendly and down to earth. I've been to Florida too, Tallahasse where we have some family (well my brother in laws auntie and neice, who is now an auntie of us all and Sharla (neice) is like our American sister) it was so funny when wee Sharla first came to Edinburgh we drove through our local park and there was loch and Sharla said "we got one of those in our back yard" and she said "I just love your little houses" hahaha - so funny. :) Florida is so vast it took us about 3 hours to get to the beach and then another 3 hours to got to a mall and there was no local shop, that's what I remember but it was awesome, a different world.
