Tripwire Lunacy

A wife and a mother, she lost her mind when Trump got elected.
She screamed and acted like a lunatic and ran into a wall
while her husband in the background told her to calm down.

I wondered how he could have married a woman so unhinged
and how long their marriage would last after she acted like a lunatic.

Her craziness didn’t bode well for him. She probably was given
to over reactions about other things.

And I suspect the day would come when she’d blow up too much
and tax her husband’s patience beyond any human’s limits.

And he’d finally reach his breaking point and get the hell
away from his wife’s tripwire lunacy.

Self Obsessed

She felt she was more important
that the rest of us.

She always paraded around in
fancy clothes.

She never spoke to us,
like a first class snob.

I wondered what nonsense made
her so self-obsessed.

I wonder what nonsense makes
people act like her.

Imagine going through life thinking
you’re better than others.

Imagine how limited a life
that would be.

And I wonder if she ever got married
and woe to her husband if she did.

The F Word

She said she was all for the F word.
That was fine with me.
I don’t care about swears,
but why didn’t she spell or say
it out if she was fine with it.
Maybe she really had some
residual resistance to it and
she wanted to seem cool.
I didn’t care either way
after all the F word is
just an S word.
