Mutual Benefits Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Some regard being dependent upon another,
As an expression of love.

When I had been married,
I relied upon the full moon...
To keep my ex-wife occupied.
She would howl at it!
And change dramatically.
As she chased me through the woods,
I managed to keep in good physical shape.

One dreary evening as I was being chased,
I turned around as she was in a leaping pounce.
Quickly I ducked and she landed into a tree.

When she returned early in the morning,
Dishovelled.
I accused her of being unfaithful.
Luckily for me...
She could not remember who the guy was,
That brought her home.
And he pretended to have had a good time.
So everything worked out,
To satisfy mutual benefits.
