the divorce.

lilting songs and reminisces

made a romance quite delicious.

diamond rings and china dishes

made a girl into a missus.

wishful thinking, whispered hisses

made a sink of dirty dishes.

ugly lies and prompt dismisses

made a setup quite pernicious.

wandering eyes and near-hit misses

made a party quite suspicious.

secret glances, stolen kisses

made a fool of pretty wishes.
