The Agonizing Wife... Poem by RIC BASTASA

hailing from California
she made a call today
to my wife in the
Philippines,

her husband died and
it is positive
the cause is covid-19
just cremated
his ash in a porcelain jar
as shown in the camera
of her i-phone and
my wife said
our sympathies and
sincere condolences

the widow is a happy
one
an agonizing woman
no more
freed from the drunkard
and the womanizer

now the widow is rich
and she will be living her life
happily ever after.
