FED UP with Marital Imprisonment
Said 'Bye! ' to his warden and..off he went.
His bossy bride cried '' What a nerve!
To say...'Jail time? Painfully served.''

Countless days turned into years,
Still Amos, the Recluse, had no fears
Of being alone in his silent abyss.
'Wife-less, I am and in Pure Bliss.''

Foraging thru brush for edible fruit,
Casually dressed in his...Birthday Suit.
Craving for pie, while for berries, he stooped.
''T'would ease my hunger after sipping m'soup.''

Then, at sunset......

'BANG... BANG... BANG'

His solace was rocked by a knock on the door.
A sound never heard...ever before.
Using the peep hole, he sighed with grief...
''It's Nosey Nellie! T'is beyond belief! ''

A morsel of delight...caught his eye.
In her hands he spied...a Sweet Berry Pie.
''Hmm... '' he thought, his mind in a stir.
''How to dine on pie...and rid me of HER. ''

''Go away! I'm BUSY. '' slyly said he.
