A Man and A Woman - II
~Stress~

Long day, home from work
Success chased to exhaustion;
She with mindless tasks to do,
Her therapy ~ dinner and laundry.
He in recliner with mindless ease
Drinks beer, slowly grows rounder.

Decades pass until one day
Heart's revenge, full measure paid.

Long day, home from work
Successfully exhausted;
With decades ahead
Still does mindless tasks,
Her therapy ~ dinner and laundry.
With day's final act folds stress away

Alone.

Fat...and Mindless!

Hmmm...what a comment on midlife boredom and loss!

ouch

Now if he'd shared those mindless tasks, they might have side-by-side recliners -- such simple insights you offer.

Love these insights

Painful though they might be, of a man destroying himself while his wife goes another route to relieve stress. A little activity goes a long way in dumping the day's stress and pain. Why not another poem to show the pair helping each other dealing with their stress? Patricia

Painful Insights!

Leon, You see so clearly a marriage's shortcomings. While one spouse handles her day's stress by doing simple everyday chores, the other closes in on himself by trying to drown his stress in beer. And you STILL haven't remarried? Oh dear. CP
