the heart grows fonder

abstinence does
make the heart grow
fonder,
as does a hot
cooked meal,
and being left
alone
to do the things
you like
to do. marriage
is best
in separate houses,
different states,
large, enormous
beds,
with escape clauses
and trap
doors when
the fight begins.
quiet children
too, make life easier,
as does those
who have their
own, god bless
that child.
