Best Man



3WW

it was a messy divorce
brought about by the envy
of his best friend
who calculated and schemed
to undermine his marriage

was so obvious to everyone
he chose
the same car
the same colour
the same boat
a similar wife
from the same school
the same religion
the same height
the same hair colouring
but it was not enough
so
BINGO
the little termite
gnawed away
at the foundations

AND
he got away with it!

  2. When someone "gets away with it," it always makes me angry. Probably I shouldn't be, but I am.
