The Service EngineerA Poem by Paul BellI want a divorce You just can’t say you want a divorce, you need to create an argument for that my love. It’s like in Monty Python, so you create the argument, and I’ll retort. You were screwing that slapper Tracy last night, that makes you a cheating b*****d. Argument complete. In a way that is true, but I was actually cheating on her with you. Let me explain It was you lying there in your fishnets and my favourite maids' outfit. It was you who said rub the cream over my breasts and lick till Christmas. So actually, in a way, It’s Tracy who should be asking for a divorce. Well, I would just like to say, that is the greatest argument man has ever invented, so good, my lawyer is bound to side with you, though she is female, so maybe not. Darling, you need to be asking yourself the question, why does my husband need to sleep with other women. That is a question I ask myself every night, and every night I come up with the same answer, you’re a dirty b*****d. You don’t understand, I’m longing for you, my heart beats only for you at times. God, you’re full of it, well actually that’s a lie, you’re empty by the time you get to me. What it is darling, is a communication problem, let me take you upstairs and I’ll talk dirty to you. Do you know, I would love to go upstairs, but unfortunately you now live outside with your clothes. What, not the good suits Yes, good suits Record collection Bin, blue Wine collection Didn’t you pass all the happy people in the street Not the tropical fish They’re in the car I never saw the car That’s because it’s in the river Have you gone nuts This is the new me darling, relentless, fearless I don’t want the new you Tough, now if you don’t mind I've got an engineer coming at eleven What’s he doing He's a service engineer, sure you can figure it out. Argument complete I believe. © 2019 Paul BellReviews
