Poem from My First Husband

Before I start getting crazy questions, let me explain. In 10th grade Bible class, we had to pair up with a "husband" and basically do marriage-prep. I honestly can't remember what that entailed, but I do know who my husband was: Jeffrey Pannell. He was (and is!) a sweet, amazing guy that turned out to be one of my best friends from high school. And here are his fabulous words about our upcoming divorce:

Ashley Johnson, my first love

Sent to me from Heaven above
We married in ye ole' high school days

I was hooked in that first gaze

We were so happy, we were so free

Together forever, I thought we'd be

But I knew I was in trouble when she saw other men

All those lunches in the cafeteria were all for pretend

We sat by each other in chapel

I knew she was looking around"

Ha," she would think

"I don't want to be with this clown"

She left me, deserted me for those other guys

Two "Deans" and a track star caught her eyes

Then in college, she met the man for her life

I knew I was in trouble of losing my first wife

So now I hear she's getting married

Can't wait for the day

Guess I'll sign those divorce papers

Right away

Truth is I can't be more happy for her
I know that she's excited

I guess I may even go to the wedding

That is, if I'm invited
