THE LADY RESIGNS HER LONGTIME POSITION



Shut up
and go to hell
you arrogant little fart
the love between us
has long ceased
swept clean of any hope
a dark thing
hardly visible
its face a black skull


The fetid corpse of you
still rots inside my trench
an old historic battlefield
in need of a plaque


A backyard barbecue
in need of some lighter fluid
and a match


Should a thousand more weenies
sizzle in this pit
none will ever be
as shriveled as yours

  2. So...she's just not that into you?

    This is a biting one, Timo--taking the dead love analogy as far as it will go and ringing all the bells with it.

  3. Hmmm....afterthought. Might this be a companion poem to my Bridge of Asses? If so, it is perfect!

  7. Oh, this is priceless! I mean, I can totally imagine that woman writing exactly these words!

  8. KERRY: So glad you like it! She looks a bit prim, doesn't she, to be writing this. But she's breaking out of a mold.

  9. This is priceless! Pairing the words with the picture makes it even better! I love it! I just wish I had read this years ago when I was breaking up with my ex!

  10. Oh wow...I love this! The image is just so at odds with the words and yet I can sense her saying it!

  11. HA! oh those renaissance women...
    like to see her embroider THAT on a handkerchief.

    getting those words out is a goooood feeling.

  12. Oh my! She might as well have taken a scimitar and sliced his... head... off.

  14. LOLAMOUSE: You can borrow it if you ever need to use a speech like that again!
    MYSTIC MOM: That was my sense of it too, so I rolled with it.
    SHAWNACY: Embroider it on a hanky...hah...it does sound like there will be some hanky-panky in the near future, though.
    SEMAPHORE: In a manner of speaking, she did!
    HEAVEN: Thanks, you! Say, I've been wondering about the lyrics to that Bee Gees song that go: "Nobody gets too much Heaven no more"...is that true?

  19. You don't just throw your average block party do you! Would LOVE to be a fly on the wall at one of you're barbecues...and would hate to be on the receiving end of the letter! A little heavier than "Dear John" ;)

  20. Yowza--I loved the picture paired with this by the way--I would have loved to have sent off a couple of these in my lifetime--haven't yet --

  21. Well, isn't this worth a smile. How fun that you penned such un-ladylike words for this picture. The contradiction between the two makes for some nice comedy. Always fun to see what you're up to over here :)

  22. Sometimes, the situation at hand does call for a wee bit of a rant. This one is nicely put together and just tongue-in-cheek enough not to actually burst into flames. Fine piece of writing.

  23. "Should a thousand more weenies
    sizzle in this pit
    none will ever be
    as shriveled as yours"

    Let's not mince words shall we? Tell us how you really feel!! Lol! Loved this. Sometimes you just have to get it all out!!

  24. HEAVEN: Well, that can't be fun for you! LOL
    MAGYAR: That's funny. Sometimes, you just gotta spell it out!
    NATASHA: Her barbecues are more like orgies! (Or her orgies are more like barbecues!)
    LORI:So glad you like this one.
    CHRISTINE, MARIAN, CLAUDIA, AUDREY, W.K. KORTAS, GINNY: Thanks for stopping by and for enjoying this...I'll be knocking on your door impersonating a magazine salesman shortly.

  25. Goodness! This is funny... and scary. Sounds like she won't even hand over the money for a plaque after writing this letter.

  26. Once love is lost, sometimes all that is left is bitterness. Well-illustrated!

  27. Oh the visuals this conjures up...

    ALEX, IRONISCH, MAMA ZEN: Thanks, y'all!
