So my husband left me for dog...

(The style of this poem is rhyme time.  I love rhyming in poetry as a child with authors such as Dr. Suess for example and now poets like Theodore Roethke delight me.  This poem is in honor of the whimsical style these writers possessed.)  

So my husband left me over a dog…

Constant (barking sarcastically) soft has caused me to stray

Straying from red headed fury over a some small child’s that day

Day after day (the small red headed man says “no more pets I say

Say what?  My man is so cliché!

Okay, Animal Control is right here on my way.

Way I will go to stop and watch the kitty’s frolic and play

Playing sweetly, I watched the kitten cabaret.

Caberating in came a small dog about to decay.

Decay by needle they go only to be thrown away.

Away with the needle I told the orderly with out delay!

Delaying not I picked up pumpkin bunny like fur did not betray

Betray not I say in my new attatche

Attache of Saint Francis I felt (dare I say)

Say to my husband can’t he stay?

“Stay I will not unless he goes away”

Away he must not go for risk of decay

“Decay I care not, I cannot be sway”

Sway the man did out the door to my dismay

Dismay I did feel before bunny wet nose implored to play

Play not now I am sad today.

Today the redheaded pumpkin continued a cuteness cliché

Cliché who cares?  And so we did play!

One day red headed anger will come back and stay.
