6/13/2011 many ways, this tongue in cheek satire on a girl who once worked with us, who was going through a divorce, was sad. we actually did bet casually how long the relationship would last, knowing from the start, things just did not add up, and they didn't.
The day you met
We placed our bets
To see how long
It would last.
Those star struck eyes
The lost in space gaze
Oh how smooth
He played
For it was not
You he cast his spell
But upon your mom
And we could see
By her giddy way
She was thinking
Back to her prom.
We'll he caught
His bass without a fight
Without even a lure
Reeled you and mom
Right in with just his looks
Never dreaming two
Fish were on the hook.
And who was it who
Wagered half a year?
Why, it would take that
Long just to unhook
Mommy dear.
Along around nine the
Kid came along
That put a crimp in the
Wagering throng.
For with the mom
and now the minnow
It looked more like the
Long term wager would
Be the winner.
All went smooth for the time
We forgot the bet and
Stood around tossing dimes.
You were seen in the big Tahoe
He was off guarding the
Foreign cargo.
Then from the blue came
The word that you were through.
We pulled our wagers and
Would you know
I was the one who said
You would make it to two!
Pay up you morbid gamblers
Of a life!
You home hating bums
Betting on strife!
What ever came of the times
We never would wage?
Knowing, what's the use?
Marriage was once for life.
