Tables Turned Poem by Ron Poetry

We need to talk....She looked at him with disgust, and proceeded to rip in to him. She told him that he was no good, never spent no time with her, always working, no time for her. Leaving her home with their 10 yr old. He barley knows who you are as it is, she says. Telling him she should of left him a long time ago. Trying to be patient waiting on him to act right. Only spending time with her cousin and best friend. Ready for their relationship to come to an end. Coming home looking all rugged and tired all the time. Eating dinner by herself, using toys to please herself because he's not there to do it. You a disappointment to me, she says. Wasted my time with you... for what? Leaning back against the counter, She waits on his reply...
PART II
He looks at her in amusement, making her madder... Sweetheart, he replies... I'm gonna tell you how good I am. I'm a doctor on call who saves lives on a daily basis. You get the joys of not working. How do you think you buy Chanel bags, Those $200 shoes you buy? I buy those... with my hard-earned money. Of course I come home looking rugged and tired. I just gave saved a bus full of people that got injured by some crazy gunman. You say you only spend time with your cousin? Honey, I know your 'cousin' is your baby daddy... not me. I had a DNA test done already. Your cousin... he scoffs... really? How slow did you think I was? Our son has hazel eyes... the same as your 'cousin'. What? you didn't think I noticed? I knew that was your boyfriend. Why you think 'our' son told you we visited Auntie Dana? D-N-A... now you get it? I just been working so I can buy me another house and leave you for good... a new start. I knew he wasn't your cousin, he told her. Talking about using toys... you don't even own none. But that was a good one. With that... he gave HER a look of disgust. Have your stuff out by 5 or they WILL be removed for you. Laughing, he turned around and walked out the door, Leaving her standing there, mouth open. She didn't expect THE TABLES TO BE TURNED.....
