Fifty Ways to Yeet Your Lover
Well, 41. A pastiche of the Paul Simon classic

The problem is there are so many ways to choose
Things tend to happen fast, no time to peruse
My not-so-perfect partner is the trash I need to lose
There must be fifty ways to yeet your lover
***
I could kick him off the roof, I could ship him to Dubai,
Make him go home to Momma, no one would ask me why
Flush his “meds,” take the key, feed him awful pie
There must be fifty ways to yeet your lover
Fifty ways to yeet your lover
***
Defenestrate Nate
Take out the mick, Vic
Evacuate the state, Jake
Get yourself a new mate
Kick their butt out the door, Victor
Or with more force out the wall, Paul
Just skip down the lane, Jane
Time to wipe the slate
***
Introduce your new beau, Flo
Get out of the way, Ray
Hop on a plane, Dane
Stay in your lane
Waltz out of the scene, Gene
Throw in the towel, Powell
Sashay past the fight, Dwight
And get outta sight
***
Should I make it any plainer or just get aboard a train
I’m tired of the same old crap that never seems to change
My thirst for violence rises every time he whines my name
I must contemplate my escape
I can get another number, I can delete his name
I should get a friend with bennies, I shouldn’t bear the blame
And find someone who treats me right, and doesn’t play the games
Involving fifty ways to yeet your lover
Fifty ways to yeet your lover
***
Break up at the park, Mark
Run away for a day, Jay
Break off the lease, Gise
The fight’s gotta cease
Take off with your bro, Joe
Don’t care how you swing, King
Dump the poly pod, Rod
Get outta the quad
***
Change your address, Jess
Forward your mail, Gail
Install that app, Cap
Get ‘em outta your hair
Get a new flat, Matt
Find a crash pad, Chad
Use your savoir faire, Claire
And get outta there
