The Ex-husbands
by Nancy Ames"I tried to make it work.
I always tried really hard,
every, every time.
But I guess I must have tried
too hard because I spoiled them
rotten and then, of course,they
were rotten.
Most of them live downtown now,
and they do seem to be making
progress.
Some of them even have their
very own shopping-carts." 03/17/2008
Author's Note: This is fiction in an ironic mood (giggle).
