Reader, I...

Reader, I…

Tweeted her.1
Translated her.2
Gave in at last, I did indeed.3

Divorced her.4
Ate her dust.5

Fucked him.6
Shagged him.7
Banged him, and we laughed and sighed and then reminisced.8

Dumped him.9
Made him up.10

Laughed.11
Cried.12
Ran.13

Ate an entire cow.14
Marinated it.15
Drank it, and I’d gladly do so again, at the dessert hour, as long as there’s freshly grated cinnamon around.16

Assure you, my duties are those of a grave historian.17
Hope you don’t believe them.18
