I truly think that you rose to this Husband and Wife Talking challenge exceedingly well. This is such a jolly good romp you gave hear with tongue in cheek and I am sitting here with a really stupid grin on my face.
Thank you for the grin...I think
Laughing still

I have my suspicions as to the author. I damn near pee'ed my pants reliving the fond memories of yesteryear this dialogue in verse remembered. Excellent and good luck in the contest.

I have my doubts about your suspicions, especially since you joined just before I took an enforced layoff, but perhaps I underestimate you - this certainly has my style written all over it if you are familiar with my other poems...
if you remember dialogue like this, you are probably oft-wed!
Thanks.

Intuition is a marvelous gift and it's always fun to bet a hunch.

Congrats. I knew it was you--I'd a won a bundle! Nobody else on this site can tell whoppers like you.
Comment from Doc Holiday
Love the dialogue here, going from sweet to sassy to bitter to hatred. You may have lost me with the last line though...She said she was going to Murphy's and that's where her husband was...
Really a fun write!
Good luck in the contest...

Comment from RebelRose
This is good. Most couple do not speak in such fancy rhyme but you did keep within the confines of the contest rules. I guess she fixed him, alright, didn't she?

Thanks for the positive review.
Comment from djsaxon
Absolutely hilarious! The piece has a lovely, bawdy, Shakespearian feel to it that is totally mesmerising. Great set up, great build, and great denouement. Top shelf stuff. Cheers - DJ

...and thank you for organizing the contest. I had fun with this one as you can tell. I liked the misdirection in your poem - we may be battling it out for the prize here...

I think you are right! Yours is superb... definitely the one I would vote for if I hadn't entered...LOL! Hope you do win. Not nice to win your own, after all. :)
Comment from Sherry Asbury
This is really well done. Your different colors for the voices is a great idea. There is a great deal of humor here - you have a subtle sense of fun that spices up the poem. I really love it and read it several times. Great work here.

Comment from rjuselius
hahaha. i love the way that the poem starts with a high note and praise and ends in jealousy and infidelity. sounds like the poem has some authority.
thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Rebekka. yes, that idea was the seed for this poem, but no, luckily my own marriage is not at all like this.
Comment from Carole Rosa
To the author of Murphy's Bar, This piece is hilarious, You need to submit this poem to Reader's Digest. The whole thing was just too funny for words!! The two sentences below were special.
As I recall, the whole affair took less than one brief minute.
He's twice the man you ever were; I don't mean just his feet!
Fabulous! Carole
