Well deserved?

narrative verse

Well deserved?

 

She outlived him to her delight

Past cruelty gave her the right

 She had been treated as a slave

 and still he paid beyond the grave.

 

She still received her monthly cheque.

Though he was killed in a car wreck

She had a claim on his estate.

It seemed to her kindly fate

 

Made him forget she would be paid

Because the blame was firmly laid

By the court that heard the case

His death his guilt could not erase.

 

So she continues to receive

The money which he meant to leave

to his latest paramour.

It seems that fate was keeping score.

 

She feels no sorrow at his death

 though he has drawn his final breath

She feels she is entitled to

 Receive the payment she is due.

 

For the way he treated her

Although she knows he would prefer

she did not get a single dime.

She finds the irony sublime.

This one had me start laughing out loud...the creep got just what he deserved...He was gone and all of his worldly goods went to the woman he had abused for so many years while he treated his lovers to luxery and excess..This is one I really like as it speaks so much truth in a couple of people I know personally...Great job..God bless..Valentine
