Poor Elin - The Poem

Tiger's been in the news a lot lately and without trying to excuse what he's done, he's human. And so is Elin. She pulled the same stunt that the Kardashians and so many others, looking for fame and fortune, have pulled. Marry it! Please read the sister article, before you condem me for my thoughts.

 

POOR ELIN
 
I’ve just written an article,
I don’t write very many.
It’s titled “Poor Elin,”
it’s about a Swedish Nanny.
 
She married a famous American,
no one knew her intentions,
but being rich and famous
is the reason most often mentioned.
 
If so, she got her wishes,
some would say “in spades.”
Whatever her situation,
now she’s really got it made.
 
Today I posted that article,
you can read it here on the Den
I don’t often offer my opinion
but today I did it once again.
 
I’ll probably go to hell
for saying those awful things,
but all I’ve got is my pen,
I never learned to sing.

Marrying wealth is as old as Kings, and Queens. So are love stories. If Tiger's weaknesses were as obvious as it seems he's a complete idiot for failing to have a pre-nup in place if he intended to protect his considerable wealth. I've done stupid things but blatant adultery isn't one of them. And I'm not even a prude. Patrick

Well written piece. It was ultimately their decisions to make and live by. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not...

Be always safe,
