The old guy
at the bar was looking desolate and sad,
I noticed
that he shed a quiet tear,
his shoulder
slump reminded me of dear departed Dad,
I walked on
over to him with my beer.
I sat down
on a stool, picked up my glass and had a sip,
“You got a
problem, mate? Are you okay?”
I guessed
his age at ninety, and he said with shaking lip:
“I wed a
twenty-one year old, last May.”
“Oh, dear. I
see your problem,” I replied and had a drink,
“those
May-December marriages don’t work -
you treat
her like a Princess, buy her emeralds and mink,
and all she
does is treat you like a jerk!”
“Oh no, it’s
not like that,” he sobbed, “we’re happy as can be,
she doesn’t
ask me for a single thing,
she has her
own large income and she spends it all on me,
the darling
lady treats me like a King!”
“I guess
she’s ugly then,” I said, “a female dinosaur,”
“No, no,” he
cried, “she’s beautiful and sweet,”
“She’s fat?”
I asked, “a bum so big it won’t fit through the door?”
“She’s
perfect,” he replied, “and quite petite!”
“It must be
sex,” I told him, “is she frigid, hard and cold?”
“The
opposite!” the poor old codger said,
“most every
night we practice what the Kama Sutra told,
she’s
absolutely fabulous in bed!”
“So she
can’t cook? She has a limp? Is blind or dumb or deaf?”
“No no,
she’s perfect, everything I want,
I come home
from the pub each day, she’s played the master chef,
so every
night it’s like a restaurant!”
“Well
everything sounds lovely, and I don’t know why you cry,
I don’t see
any help that I can give.”
The old man
gulped his beer, then let out a giant sigh,
he sobbed:
“I can’t remember where I live!”
