J'ACCUSE By Polly Guerin
 |
| Lovers' Quarrel by French Painter Henri Gervex 1887 |
Once Upon a Time a man was enraged
When he read love poems on the page
This arrogant self-seeking husband
Beside himself with rage and thunder
Confronted his wife with indignant rage
Read tender intimate sentiments saved
Exposing heartfelt emotions in detail
With poignant memories never failed
So tender were the loving words chosen
He was at once angry his emotion frozen
Ignited his heart, he remembered the loss
But then again, what care, he was the boss
Convinced his wife so severely deceived him
He demanded to know the possible reason
And confronted his wife with rude demands
So sudden, so cruel, she did not understand
The confrontation was heated and very sad
But she was steadfast and seemingly glad
"My poems about YOU, when we first met
Somehow the years flew by, did you forget?
A gentle, caring lover you inspired my heart
Those wonderful early years from the start."
The husband admonished fell into his chair
Realizing his folly had fueled his despair.
