: Unstuck (A Fairy Tale) by Debra White
    Stuck! Contest Winner 


Once upon a time my name was Mrs Debra Dales.
The name came with a ball and chain to keep me on the rails.

Before we'd wed I'd no idea how married life would be.
He'd been a loving boyfriend, made me feel like royalty.

I tried so hard to please him, tried to keep his interest,
but soccer was his one true love and I was second best.

It pained me to admit defeat but I'd made a mistake.
I could not take his apathy, I had to make the break.

My hero in green uniform showed up and made things right,
unstuck me from my rut and now I'm Mrs Debra White!

The End
