Just Wonderin' Poem by ronald stroman

i wanted
my Gulf war questions
answered once,
and before you knew it:
i was in the U.S. ARMY of one
dressed down in camouflage,
and barely getting by
with thoughts of if...
my wife
was the dating'another man' kind of spouse;
while i was in Iraq.

i wondered if...

my DESERT STORM wife,
was taking Operation Iraqi Freedom,
to a whole 'nother level,

especially... when my Mother tells me,
my wife has gotten
big
fat
and pregnant.

ain't that something:

when I haven't seen her
in 11 months.
