First,

never ask of him

questions

to which you

really don’t want

answers.

Maybe she did,

every morning,

prepare for him

a farmers breakfast

and every night

a gormands feast.

Chicken cor-don-blu

was not difficult

for her to do,

even if she was

executive-in-charge

of fund raising and accounting

for our local zoo!

Maybe she did love

oral sex,

receiving

and,

( fantastically, by the way,)

giving it to him.

But!

No!

Of course he won’t expect

such routine miracles

from you.

You asked him, remember!

He was only answering

happily,

from his much cherished

memory

of her

and you are,

not her.

You are,

of course, my dear,

only

and merely,

you.
