Ode to My Husband's Mistress

I have seen your sleek perfection
graceful lines, taut curves, flawless form
seductress in black leather

I have seen his eyes lock upon your shining face
the way you light up under his gaze,
his attention focused upon all that you are

I have heard you call to him with your melodious voice
you beckon him to your side and he comes
you whisper softly and he rushes to answer you

No gentle lover, shrill and impatient when ignored
insistent upon your prominence in his mind
his only respite the hour spent before One mightier than you
yet how you long to intrude even there, only his own fear silences you

How I long to take a hammer and smash your shining face
to dance and laugh as I crush you beneath my feet
damnable thing which has slept cradled in his hand
within the safety of our bed

Oh, foul deceiver! You who promise help and ease
and rob us of our peace
wicked thing, how I wish that I could destroy all that you are to him
but it is I who would pay the price

We share him in an unholy truce
but know that I loathe you
Beware the day of my vengeance for it shall be terrible to see
Oh how I despise you,
Blackberry

You know, I'm kinda getting the impression that you're not too fond of the Blackberry.

Amen to Kim's comment.

Computers, any computer, all computers - and a Blackberry if we had one.

Note to Kristi - I had the TV turned off, but it switched to computers.

Hilarious! My husband actually despises his "crackberry", but only because it is a work phone and when it rings it is work calling him. I call it his ball and chain, because he can go no where without it and without work calling him. I refuse to answer it.

I have one from work, but I'm not that sold on it.

On the other hand, my wife will encourage me to spend time with my mistress.

Oh my word. Can I tell you how relieved I am?!

I was wondering how the computer guy had TIME for it! LOL. And why you were blogging about it! 8-o

Glad to see the 'mistress' is a crackberry. We've got ham radio contest season (all winter)...we've got his job (all the time)...we've got the farming to do...and right now? The latest "flame" is the planning of a wood-fired outdoor bread oven. We've got starter on the counter. I'm grinding wheat berries twice a week. Shoot, *I* Have to feed 'her'!!!

Gr. Apparently, my artisan bread wasn't enough for him! ;-)

LOL

Want those eggs?
