A man and woman – established a decision

Fell in love, tied the marital hangman’s knot

Pledged together to make a commitment to

face all their disappointments until death do

they part . . .

He knew the marriage vows like the back of

his hand – I’ll get to that part in due course

So please read on; after a week’s honeymoon

they moved into his house; months later, every

thing unraveled . . .

The groom wasn’t what he seemed to be; left

her dizzy and confused – but she decided to

stay, because he kept her well provided for

and was great in the sack; unbeknownst was

pending doom . . .

On a dark, foggy, rainy night, he walked into

their bedroom to say goodnight to his wife

Threw her on the bed and she was sucked

down; bedbugs began to bite – “Goodbye

thirteenth wife” . . .

That wasn’t the last he would see of his

bride – stormy night marking their 6^th month

anniversary; she crawled up out of the bed

slightly chewed-up; grabbed him, “Come join

me, dear!” . . .
