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.
