Custody Rights Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Did you come,
To hush or mum?
Sneaking silently...
To quiet our fun then leave?

You're acting more like a warden,
Coming to discipline children.
Can we at least have some peace...
Without a nosy neighbor creeping in?

Is the music too loud?
That I am sure it is not.
Have you lost your binoculars?
Is that the reason you did not knock?

You did not ring the doorbell.
Nor did you call to say you'd come.
It's clear you wanted to see...
Who would be here other than me.
To give your approval,
Since with me you didn't want to be!

There is no one here,
You will catch me sitting near...
So go back home to mope,
And let me enjoy these folks!

'Who was that? '

That's just my EX!
Comes to see me to have sex.
Must have heard me having fun.
But tonight they ain't getting none!

'How convenient! '

Yeah!
It was part of the divorce settlement!
I was awarded custody rights,
Of a certain piece of property!
But as you can see...
One of us is 'still' in a state of denial!

'How strange.
Seems like someone has become deranged,
By your arrangement! '

It has its perks...
When one of us is not being a jerk!
But I can certainly say,
I've found a new way today to get laid!
