An Ode To An "Ex"
 
People ask me if I miss you
So I asked ME if I do.
I guess I miss you, honey
Sort of like I miss the flu!
 
On the day that you left me
Did you think I’d lose my mind?
Well, I may have, had you stuck around,
Like love, hate too is blind!
 
Did you think you’d really hurt me?
When you walked right out the door?
Okay, it surprised me for a second–
Or maybe three or four.
 
I threw a rock and broke your plate
Then notified your next of kin
I stomped upon your cowboy hat
And poked it with a pin!
 
I hope you didn’t hurt yourself
As you exited the door
I accidently changed the locks
So don’t come ‘round here no more!
