Double Entendre: The Right to Choose ~ Friday, August 12, 2022

Little Brown Guy was an epithet my ex-wife gave me to describe

in no uncertain terms what kind of man she left for another man

the type of man with a lack of height, length and width, one born in Bombay

this she found funny, Sandy Sanford was her name, someone I could bribe

left me for a stroke patient and kept my last name, she is my ex-wife

ever since we met, it was banter like a fight, a part of the plan

But I was clueless and stupid and fell in love, thus I rue the day

reason broke my heart, but I was cruel before her, I wanted others

only I didn't know my actions affected her life with much strife

wonders never cease, I never cheated on her, but we soon divorced

no surprise really, after five years, she was done, ready to move on

Given my background, raised a Roman Catholic, I had not endorsed

under such duress to accept total failure, but our love was gone

yes, Henry VIII was right to demand divorce, he had his druthers
