M does a marvellous set of prompts each month, today the prompt was Spontaneous Eruptions. I am sure you aren’t surprised at what I came up with. I recorded it too though so you can listen rather than actually reading it. See how kind I am…I hope it works.

The tale of Darren and Julie
Once a chap said “I Do”, his wife said she’d be true
And in bliss they did spend all their days
In bed things were quite hot and they cared not a jot
For the flaws in their deeds and their ways
For they say love is blind but alas her behind
Grew quite plump and his ardour it waned
And he seemed now quite dull and there came then a lull
In the bedroom “Boring!” she complained
“Well your cooking is foul” he proclaimed with a scowl
She complained that his chores were undone
and with pinky quite crooked she complained how he looked
“You’re a cow” he did cry “like your mum”
There were slamming of doors, and so started the wars
And she went for a drink with his mate
So he signed up online had a jolly good time
Second base from an internet date
They fought over the cat she poked fun at his fat
Rotund tummy, he scoffed at her thighs
So she scratched up his car, he cut up her best bra
And on facebook he posted foul lies
So she slept with his dad and that made him quite mad
So she dry humped a tramp near some bins
Then he had a tattoo of her name and some poo
She jerked off a red head pair of twins
And at last it did end, for they just could not mend
The sweet love that was now oh so broke
And they went separate ways but that’s not how it stays
Even though its been weeks since they spoke
For one night on the booze he did text “I did lose
Something dear how I wish wed not split”
And she lonely and sad (and she quite missed his dad)
Said “I miss you come round in a bit”
Now they’re trying again and it might end the same
Or they could this time round find love true
Now he needs to just find a tattooist most kind
To remove what he inked near his bum…
He thought things were bad before? It oh 😳

I like to listen to a British accent, no matter its origin. I had my Canadian accent and pronunciation of some words when I moved here and classmates and my teacher laughed at me (yes, even the teacher), so I adapted pretty quickly to “the American way” … my mother would not give up a lot of Canadian sayings and would chafe when people said she had an accent.

Sometimes its just easier to fit in and not be forever explaining that you’re from somewhere else I grew up in Africa and with an English accent was always having to explain how I got there

I do recall reading you grew up in Africa. Yes, people ask lots of questions … in my case I spoke with a Canadia accent and also wrote and spoke Oxford English, little or no contractions. Teacher ridiculed me for how I spoke in sixth grade … the class laughed and I never wanted to go back to school. Now, I think it is good to be different, but I don’t have a Canadian accent anymore.

I absolutely agree being different is fabulous and not enough people are different

Getting older has its perks … you finally “get it” i.e. that it is good to be your own person and not just be like the rest of the crowd.
