It began with not so subtle sarcasms
chop chop
Then the sarcasms increased and became wearing
chop chop
hacking away at him annoyingly
chop chop
until he blew up at her
and for a while the chopping ceased
but as often is the case with time
and bad behaviors re-arising
her not so subtle sarcasms began again
chop chop
in the end he did the chopping
by ridding himself of her
and she had to pack her bags and leave
peace at last.
