So, lunch is on me then - eh?
lips,
suitably pursed,
pinkie,
raised to the correct angle.
She sits and sips the last dregs of
life she's just squeeezzed outta me.
A fitting accompaniment
to the thick slice o' succulent wallet
she's so elegantly carved out of my arse.
Dripping with greenback-
for those blessed with perfect diction,
her lawyer comments on the tenderness
of my sauteed sweetbread!
"hummmm a little stringy
but ever so nourishingly juicy".
as he pours the remnants
of my self esteem on to his final bill.
Obi.

Hiya, Cat.
The "Ride" was surprisingly easy given that I ended up with,,,,,,,,
The Cat, (Henry), the House, and The Blown Glass collection.
And she ended up with " The Chlamydia" ( The itch that keeps on giving )
hugs, Obi.

Very good write Obi! The
Very good write Obi! The venom in this piece is visceral - I felt it, and the monetary remains of love in the ashes.

No venom reeaaly,,,,
she was just intelligent for me,
I couldn't keep with her neurons,
and she, never learnt the art of, irony.

Got it in one.
Humour is a coping mechanism for a multitude of woes, a trait well worth cultivating.
Obadiah, thanks you !
