“Sorry you Married a Jerk” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

March 16, 2013 by John J. Rigo, Texas' Poet and Commentator

Perhaps a good book to read before marrying that second partner?

The scene is familiar.

A local restaurant.

The couple came to enjoy breakfast.

A woman joins the couple.

She is unfamiliar to the husband.

Introductions are made.

During the course of conversation

between the wife and woman friend

mention is made of several occasions

where the husband of the wife

is made to look like a jerk.

As the husband listens to these

indirect insults by his wife

his mind travels back to his youth.

Memories fill his mind

in recalled memories of his

first childhood bride

who always treated him

with pride before others.

An inner voice rings in his head.

The voice tells him he lacked maturity

in keeping his childhood bride.

He now realizes he is at the end of his life.

He is now married to a Jerk for a wife.

Lord….save us from our own stupidity.
