Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Old Dang Mind

Should an old spouse be forgot, I

Can tell you it's not a good thing.

It tends to cause the spouse to cry.

Nothing's worse than a spouse crying.

I say I am sorry of course.

But for the spouse it's not enough.

The spouse drops the "D" word, divorce,

And calls me nasty names and stuff.

My spouse is older than I am,

So says old age is no excuse,

And says I just don't give a damn.

I'm guilty of spousal abuse.

Should old age forgets be forgot?

I hope so, cuz I do a lot.
