***FICTION***

This came to mind while watching "Desperate Housewives."

"OUR HUSBAND"

How do you know so much about my man?
His likes,
His dislikes and just-won't-eats...
His BIRTHMARK?
I've never told anyone about that.
When did you see him naked?

How do you know so much about my man?
Where he works,
When he works and what he makes...
HIS DAYS OFF?
I am still in shock about the birthmark.
How'd you get his office number?

How do you know so much about my man?
His name,
And the pet name I call him...
"PHOOFYJOE"
The name that I call him when we make love...
Did he give you a name, too?

How do you know so much about my man?
Yours and mine
Sound nearly identical.
THIS IS WEIRD.
Sounds like something out of "The Twilight Zone."
I think I've figured it out.

How do you know so much about my man?
Because your man
And mine are one in the same.
HOW STUPID
Could you and I have both possibly been?
How many more have been hurt?

How do you know so much about my man?
I don't want him.
The creep don't deserve to live.
THE BASTARD.
I have heard it's "Ladies' Night" at the bar.
What say we drown our troubles?

I haven't seen this movie yet but if the answer was to kick the man out of their lives and to live on, great answer!

I'm with Lisa on this one, saw the title, made a beeline for it. LOL. I keep getting a nagging feeling that my ex may have pulled a bigawhammy. Don't know why, but wouldn't put it past him. A plum, Karla!

Ouch ouch boy that reminded me of my first husband rather he was married to about five of us. Wasn't funny then but now well let's just say he did not practice Nancy Reagon's speech Just Say No.
The bum went to prison though. A real eye opener.
