The Dear Jerry Letter

Dear Jerry,

The way you talk down to me is amazing
I am obviously simple, so truly deserve it.
You are surely not this patronizing with everyone.
Just your wives and your children who do not know better.

I never understood before why you have had six wives.
Your courting ways are remarkable. You are a terrific date.
Paying for fancy dinners, and luxurious vacations.
I did not realize it was money your children could have had.

Now that I see you clearly, I feel I must release you.
Give you back to your parents who raised you
To only think of one person.
I hope they allow you to come back.
And will not hold grudges like your horrible ex-wives do.

Feel free to lose my number and my address
as you have pretended to lose your ex-wives' numbers.
I am relieved that I do not have to ask you for child support.
Thank you for never wanting children with me.
I guess six was enough for you.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-Wife who is No Doubt Joining the Horrible Club

Exceptionally well-done, Caren. To many very good women are taken in by cads with marvelous dating skills. I'm glad this woman, the subject of the poem, saw through him and told him to "lose my number and my address!"

I wish more women liked themselves well enough to do this.
