Husband For Sale

(tongue in cheek
by this moldering geek.)

Thy marriage doth incurably ail,
even strangers would vouchsafe
(with nary any cavil),
and perhaps even avail

herself (sight unseen),
with a moderate chance
zee spouse might bewail
this bread crumb

winner, chauffeur,
bill payer latching
on to mine tattered coattail
in an effort to

sustain this misery loves
company wedded
harrowed distress,
where future prospect

appears dim (sum) mutt
unlikely to curtail or halt
this (mine button nose to the
grind stone) pennilessness

only promises inevitable derail
ment, since grow
wing unflattering pessimism
only harkens more (spiraling

down rabbit hole re: abysmal)
substantial hardship
(possibly even homelessness),
asper my remaining lifetime

woeful struggle - as sigh exhale
before figuring out what to write
for these ensuing
lines, yet strongly anticipating zero

lucky search for a female,
if this mister didst
decouple from his caboose -
whereat Abby Robin (the missus)

will holler "VAMOOSE"
as an opportunity to exit
clear and present danger field
pinning optimism for a gal,

who exhibits ambition,
earns her own income
(or per slim or fat chance
might be independently wealthy),

plus bing hearty and hale,
this chap communicates
no outlandish fanciful
general electric sponsored idea,

which elaborate or general sketch
for some ideal counterpart
might immediately impale
any likelihood on

a figurative crucifixion
hmm...maybe turning
to a life of crime,
and befriending a foul mouthed,

heavily pierced, and
tattooed in jail
professing pseudonymous party privy
to access Swiss Bank accounts

own much moolah - kale
as said in the narco
world wide webbed trade,
thus such laundered legal tender,

would clearly evince
natural "green thumb" talent
in tandem with sharp (as a hawk)
business acumen spiriting over

financially choppy waters
as doth a lugsail
with this aging
baby boomer male

he generally steers
toward straight and true
analogous to an ace
carpenter blindly hammering
the head of a nail

pounding out frustration unsure
if asking price over-scale
regarding negligible
demand for preowned,
housebroken, and domesticated fellow,
whose demeanor pastorale.
