You can't win them all.

First she ask, Do you still love me like you first did, I said: No! and I was
going to say more, but she swung at me with a right, than a left. The cast
iron pan came later.

She ask: Do you like the Black with white or the White with black one? I
said; the Blue one, but I was wrong and should have said the white with
black. That was when the flower vase bounced off the wall and broke.

She ask: do you want pork chops or wieners for dinner? I said pork chops.
And she was thinking wieners. No dinner that night!

She ask: do you think I look fat in this and I knew I had better say No.
That was when she started to cry and said I didn’t care how she looked..

She ask: Can we go out for dinner tonight and I said: I would rather stay
home and eat, Dinner was black as coal, cold as ice water and I had to eat
all alone. The dog went behind the couch to hide.

She ask: do you like my new shoes, I ask: Aren’t they the same as the ones
in your closet? My eyes were open but my split lip is really sore, it will be
another week before I can eat again.

She ask: Will you tell your friends that the game of poker is off tonight,
I said: “Hell No, I will Not”, I am the master of this house, that was when
I told her to pack her bag and go home to her Mother. Then I learned that
her mother was already here. She added, That drinking and smoking was
not going to be allowed in this house while she was here.

The boys all came to my room at the hospital and we played poker there. I
lost the house and everything else in the game! God, do I ever feel good!
It’s so nice living alone, doing what ever I want and having no job. Not a
care in the world and no one knows where I am…
