United States, (1927-2011)
Vindication
- My ex has found a guy, quite newly,
- As “perfect” as a man can be,
- A vast improvement on yours truly,
- And here is what he thinks of me:
- “My predecessor, you are clearly
- Quite unfit to sup with swine.
- If truth be told you are not nearly
- Good enough with pigs to dine!”
- ‘Twas then my ex plunged into battle,
- Thus, it seemed, to take MY side:
- “To mingle with those porcine cattle,
- I’d say he’s MORE than qualified!”
