idea at the time,
for the young pretty girl
to marry
a man twenty
years older than
her, or older.
the money, the prestige,
the comfort
of not having to worry
about such things as
where to live,
clothing and what to eat.
the vacations being grand,
the bling, the baubles,
the cars, the pool,
the country club.
all fine and dandy until
the end.
you see them from time
to time, still attractive
in an older way, but
pushing the old men,
the old husbands
down the ramps in
wheelchairs,
wiping oatmeal
from their chins.
