Cheating Seems To Please Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why is it...
The choice to be alone,
Is much more a curiousity
Than sitting with others
Discussing spouses and mates
With those they are discreetly dating?

When some prefer to have peace of mind,
Without keeping a record of which lies to tell
To whom and who to swear to secrecy!

Cheating seems to please,
Some who do not mind being worthless creeps!
Living that kind of 'excitement'...
Does not always guarantee a peaceful sleep!

However...
Those alone but not lonely,
Have no problem doing that easily!
Without wondering if doors and windows have been locked.
Sealed with alarms turned on to detect motion!
Or pleading for an unreturned key told missing...
Before the locksmith is called!
Leaving one sleeping soundly...
To dismiss myths about bliss!
And finding a sunrise that awakens one rested,
Free and completely unannoyed by bad habits
Hard to break.
