His friends told him he could do better
than what they saw as his ugly wife,
who was more than beautiful to him.
They said he could have done better
with beautiful trophy wives like theirs.
But he knew his so called ugly wife
had more beauty in her than their
outwardly beautiful trophy wives
and his marriage to his wife lasted
for many loving and wonderful years
while their marriages ended in
bitter divorces, heartaches, the
loss of their grand homes, and
the costs of exorbitant alimonies.

When my ex wife began dabbling
in the dark arts

I had a chilling feeling things weren’t
going to end well for her

When I learned she was casting evil spells
intended to kill me

I knew either she lost her mind completely
or the darkness had possessed her

I didn’t take her crazy attempts to kill me
with bogus evil spells seriously

until I contracted a severe bout with Covid
that nearly took me out.

But when I recovered from Covid in a few weeks,
I regained my skeptical senses

and felt sorry for my bogus, evil spells
casting witchy wife

who eventually went mad and had
to be institutionalized.

I once met a woman who liked spiders.
She gave them free run of her house.
The thought of spiders all over her home
gave me the willies and made me cringe.
I imagined waking up one day with her
and spiders all over me and her bed.
Though she was beautiful and I felt
a strong attraction to her beauty
and her endearing, magnetic ways,
her spider obsession was repulsive
to me and way too much to endure.
