Stories for Grown-ups: January 2021

《MAN》Dear, I can't believe you're leaving me. We've always been so

close.

In 20 years we've never been apart.

You say you've found another love who understands your needs.

He loves your mind and now has won your heart.

《WOMAN》 Get over it- I'm out of here. I've had it with your bull.

The 20 years were 19 years too long.

My new man takes the time to listen to my every thought.

He loves the fact that I am smart and strong.

《MAN》While you pack your bags and feed the cat, your face has been a

mask.

You're trying to hide your feelings deep inside.

You turn around, you've got that look. You're heading for the door.

I've just one question to restore my pride-

Have you seen the TV remote, it was right here yesterday.

I'd swear I saw it sitting here last night.

NASCAR starts at 10 AM, Earnhardt Jr.'s on the pole.

They say it's gonna be a real dog fight!

《WOMAN》 You say I left you, that's a joke. But I can't really laugh.

You left me oh so many years ago.

I stuck it out, the kids are grown and getting on with life.

It's time to leave and I want you to know-

《WOMAN》 Yes, I saw your dumb remote, it was in the other room.

You left it when you went to get a drink.

Don't bother looking, it's not there, Yes, I made sure of that.

It went thru the disposal in the sink.

《MAN》My poker group meets Friday night and we could use some

snacks.

The guys say that your nachos can't be beat.

If your new love plays poker, he'd be welcome as can be.

And you could tag along and bring some treats.

《WOMAN》 This weekend we'll be at the coast, we leave right after work.

Don says he has a big surprise for me.

So you can make the nachos for yourself, you clueless nut,

While I'm relaxing looking at the sea!

《CHORUS - MAN》 Have you seen the TV remote, it was right here yesterday.
