THE COMPLAINT
To think that I complained
'Stop pulling the sheets your side!
You've got all the blankets!
I can't sleep, though I've tried!
You're absolutely selfish!
You only think of you!
It's indicative of your attitude
In everything you do!
You never help with the children!
You never cook a meal!
You never see my point of view!
You don't care how I feel!
I'm sick of the situation!
I'm sick of being bossed!
I've had enough of this marriage!
I wish you'd just get lost!'
*
And so you left! A week ago!
I never thought you would!
All I have is a little note
Saying 'Goodbye! Gone for good!'
And now I look at the crumpled sheets
And the emptiness of the bed
And I ask myself what made you go?
*
Was it something that I said?

JUST A TRIFLE
Trifles are trivial, trifles are small,
Really, they don't count for much at all!
It's only when 'just desserts' are required
Full of fruit, and with cream inspired, that
Laden with alcohol (say sherry)
Everyone is made quite merry!

Too good.
Excellent, too much too soon, and then it's gone for good.
Oh that last one made me hungry!
Love Di ♥
Nice Magpie
gosh makes me feel like I need to be a bit nicer...this was an absolute joy to read!
Excellent. An observation of a tipping point, with a dash of humour.
great post! so true to life-just a trifle!
Oh dear! It's that 'be careful what you say' thing coming back to haunt. Very nice writing!
Great fun! Actually, serve you right, all that moaning would send anyone bonkers.
Glad you had a gorgeous trifle to help you get over his desertion.
the first made me chuckle, the second made me hungry!
Was it something I said? I really enjoyed the flow and fun of this poem. Great Magpie!! Thanks for sharing it.
Heh heh. What a fabulous post! I can totally relate to it. Now where's that suitcase.......
Brilliant!!
Wickedly funny. Just shows you should be careful what you wish for.
Great Magpie!

Your use of rhyme is art in itself.
Love your Magpie!
This was very funny. Well done!
Wow, that was Great, and so true..the question after the fact...nice magpie...bkm
And that's the way it happens...Nicely done, as always and the Trifle is a true delight as well.
I'll take some of that trifle, please! The other one..been there, done that!!
profound one,
love the ending.
Loved this magpie -- such an interesting combination of a breezy tone, a bit of a lilt with the rhyme, and then such a sad sentiment. Well done!
Oops! Cute one.
Happens that way a lot of the time. Best way, I think. Just go away.
