Tears rolled down Lola cheeks

As she heard the sad news

That her husband 

Was cheating on her

- – -

Lola was in a relationship

That she had vowed 

For life and meant

Every word of it

On a matrimonial altar

Witnessed by family and friends

- – -

Now after 30 years of marriage

With three grown children

Her husband broke the news

That he was madly in love

With someone else

- – -

Lola cried her heart out

Asking, “how could this be?”

Jim has always told her

That he loved her

Assuring her that they would

Be soul mates for life

- – -

As Lola wept

She was outraged

Slapped Jim

And ordered him to leave

Their home

Since he confessed 

That he had been sleeping 

With her best friend Julie

Behind her back

- – -

Jim quickly packed a suitcase

Said he was sorry again and again

Scampered through the door

Not to be seen

Nor heard of, again

- – -

Lola never forgave him

But cried every night

Until she pined away
