Can you believe I dreamed this and
just had to write it? ;-) Any resemblance
to my or anyone else's life is purely coincidental.

I Slapped Her


I slapped her hard on the left cheek,
before I could explain, she let out a shriek.
Her eyes narrowed to evil slits,
and her face turned a bright pink.

"Oh why did you have to do me this way,
I thought you loved me by what you say.
I thought I loved you, too,
but  with this, I rue the day."

She went to the closet and started packing her stuff,
nothing I could say to her was enough.
Her mind was made up and that was it,
I had no business being that rough.

"I'm calling my friend's lawyer today.
I hear he's good at divorces and takes little pay.
You can expect my summons in the mail,
I'm taking it all, and taking it my way."

She sulked around the house, pissing and moaning,
and then on the line, serial cell phoning.
"That MF that, and this MF this,"
she stormed out the door with a dire warning.

"I want you to know that I'm filing for assault.
Just in case you think it's not your fault.
And I'm taking our joint accounts today,
along with the safe deposit box in the vault."

I stood there stunned, at the slammed door,
rehashing in my mind what had happened before.
When that pesky mosquito landed on my cheek,
and I slapped her ass through her beak.

Ron, you must have had wicked, cackling fun writing this.....along with some serious interpersonal relationship experience or knowledge to make the setting for this exceptionally witty story. I like what Jon said "you had me scurrying to the next line"......me too! ~~ Diana

Enjoyed this poem, Ron. The ending is a hit (no pun intended). I felt sorry for that mosquito. Thanks for being there. I didn't join Writer's Den to convince anyone I was a great writer, but to have the opportunity to meet people like Ronald hull.

Ron, you had me scurrying to the next line and the next expecting to be in the midst of your divorce, until, you slapped me with your anopheles reality - on your cheek, her pesky beak - the punch line
is very creative - I wish you love and peace my friend - Jon Michael

Lots of slapping going on here, Ron! I doubt any of us feel pity for the plight of that mosquito - whose fate was undoubtedly assured in the light of what had just been going on. But was the whole of the aforegoing also a personification of the blood-sucking and personal irritation it seems to be the life's work of mossies to bring upon humankind~? Now THAT would be some dream! If I were you I'd take the anti-malarials, just in case.... Hell hath no fury like a mosquito scorned.... xx

Ah, slapping is good... especially in dreams where regrets are forgotten upon wakening. Mosquitos? Now that's another subject to explore even more thoroughly. Pesky little suckers.

Is this really a dream? It's so realistic, until that last stanza. I could have tried to come up with a freudian interpretation, but the original ending just makes me smile! ;)

I often can't reach mosquitoes, so, if she's around, she swats and doesn't spare the force. I have been known to see one on her, and attempt a swat, too.

Goodness what a dream! sounds to me like some inner struggles you wish to slap out of your life. After all dreams are only thoughts (not of the one you love in this instance) you have processed through the day that come to you symbolically.

Lets hope you have some lovely dreams to write about next.

Very intriguing Ron :)
