All for the Love of You

bySusanJillParker©

Well...
I sold my kids to the highest bids, all for the love of you.

"Daddy, we love you."
"Don't worry, kids, I'll write."

Divorced my wife, my girlfriend, too, all for the love of you.

"Divorce? You want a divorce? And what about your girlfriend? And what have you done with the children?"

"You're gone, she's gone, and they're gone, too."

Kicked the habit, no longer smoke, all for the love of you.

"I wonder if she considers chewing tobacco smoking?"

Got new teeth, best money can buy, all for the love of you.

"Now don't forget, these are wooden teeth and you really can't bite down with them."

Traded my pickup for a Honda Civic, all of the love of you.

"Gees, I'll never fit a 4x8 piece of plywood in here."

Sold my Garth Brooks CD's for Beethoven and Bach, all for the love of you.

"Wow, if I turn my speakers off, I can really hear the strings, as if they aren't even there."

Got my degree, a Ph. D. through the mail, all for the love of you.

"So, let me get this straight, I can't do brain surgery because a Ph. D. is not a medical degree? I don't get it. Explain that to me again."

Removed my tattoos, boy that hurt, all of the love of you.

"Bye Mom. Bye Gina. By Buster. By Super Dave."

Now...
What will you do for me?
