Married Blitz

Once they were devoted And then they were divorced, Then came separation That had to be enforced.... She played the fool, while he was cruel, He beat her till she cried And every single horrid day, Some more inside her died... Once these two were smitten, True love was in the air, But hatred loomed at home, Thus ending their affair... She did her best, he did his worst, The two at loggerheads And every single wartorn night They slept in single beds... Once forms were duly signed, He still looked in his prime, Her bruises left her face, Yes, pretty soon in time... She lost his hand, she found his fist, She bade him glad farewell, When she died, she went to Heaven, He died and went to Hell... Denis Martindale, copyright, September 2012.
