Dung






It gathers 'neath my nails
while scratching my better half
as if it was my scalp and I wondered:
'Damn, what was I thinking?'

Her head reels after she takes a whiff.
'Fuck!'  She frowns, 'What is that?'

Glaring at the brown, I say,
'The end result of having you
for dessert tonight.
One way or another,
every meal has to come out, right?'

She storms away in a huff
early enough for me to sleep in peace.

Love stinks, doesn't it?

    You couldn't have been my better half cause I would have came right back atcha babe.LOL! This was truly good.

    Lol, reality at the very tips of your fingers, and she refuses to acknowledge that there might be several grains of truth to it,...I love it,

    When I was a kid my parents would constantly say "That's dung, this is dung"... I had no idea what "dung" meant. I later found out when we were teens, and they replaced "dung" with "shit". I also read dung hill in the Bible.

    Ah-hem... I don't blame her for walking away "in a huff". I actually pass gas every single morning. Ray is always the first one up but that was not the fact when we were first married. LOL He learns fast! It's because I sleep with my mouth open, and air gets into my stomach during the night.

    Umm...enough about me. You are a mess! (pun intended)



    I LOVE YOU Dez!

    This could be romantic in a strange sort of way. No, maybe not. Your better half didn't think so. Worse than farting in bed.

    I suppose if you live someone, you should love every part of them!

    A daring write.

    Wow.....anyway you gave a very vivid imagery and told a intriguing story that kept the reader interested without totally giving it away at the beginning (even though the title is self explanitory). Thanks for reading my poem. Keep Writing.
