Average Joe

 

 

He’s an average man and happy to be so.

His woman is just like him

Nothing special with his upper torso,

And her waist not particularly thin.

 

Together they put the “N” in normal.

Nothing fancy about their life

Black suit the correct formal

When they became man and wife.

 

 

 Their first child was a chubby boy

A yellow little thing.

To them he was their biggest joy.

He completed the ring.

 

Finally a family of three

A car , a house and lawn,

But inside they would disagree

Both hearts withdrawn.

 

Suddenly both loathing average

A “box” they used to love

Their son no longer a bandage

Marriage they were tired of.  

 

 

So mr. and mrs. Average parted

They both wanted more.

The decision made, fairly light-hearted

No longer waging war.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I started with the idea that NOT divorcing would be a pretty un-normal thing to manage since the statistics isn't exactly positive. Then i just played around with words from there. Though I don't like this one as much as my other ones, the rhyming pattern takes the "heat" off it a bit I think.

Thank you, demigoodness. It

Thank you, demigoodness. It grew on me, and I like it more now. I had to struggle a bit with it, so perhaps that's why. Thank you for liking my things :D


I'm always lying, in fact, I'm lying to you right now.
