I wrote this after my first divorce. I retained custody of my then 5 year old Son. One night I was reading him to sleep and came across the Nursery Rhyme, "Peter Piper Pumpkin Eater, had a Wife and couldn't keep her..." I teared up and my Son sensed it, he said, "Daddy, you're a good Daddy." And went to sleep. I got up and went to the Kitchen and my Limerick came out all at once. This was in '89, but it still seems appropriate to my situation today. Let me know what you think!

There once was a man named Drew*,
Who had a Wife that couldn't be true,
and so ofcourse he got a divorce,
and started his life anew...

At first he was sad inside,
and so he tried and tried,
but she didn't come around,
and therefore he found,
all along she had lied.

Ah, but more than these words do tell,
he finally did break her spell,
for she wasn't only a *****,
she too was a Witch,
and he got tired of going through hell.

He took with him his Son,
proud were the two, they did not run,
Nay, they held their heads high,
and so by and by
their experience proved to be fun!

Their story has not an end of yet,
but an honest mans money is sure to be bet,
that down the home stretch, nary is there a catch,
that this man and his Son will regret.

And so let us toast to the two,
who are traveling this road of new,
that may they keep their stand,
and may their travels be grand,
the same as for me and for you...
