It only happened once; he promised it wouldn't again.
I must've deserved it, needed his correction.
The bruises healed easily; I'm not even in pain!
Iβm just blessed to be his loving selection.
ππππ
So in love, head over heels.
He calls me beautiful when I smile,
He gets angry when I burn his meals,
His temper flares at me for a long while.
ππππ
He thinks I'm cheating, that I'm not his anymore.
I can't talk to anyone without his permission,
I deserve this. I'm nothing but a dirty whore!
A slave to my wifely submission.
ππππ
Says heβll stop if I listen to him, but I know,
He never lets go.

Until Next Time
Taken too soon by a tragedy, our fellow Vocal Creator Tom Bradbury passed away this week. Things haven't been the same since! Everyone is stricken with grief, sadness, and disbelief at the sudden turn of events. In the spirit of mourning, I've written a poem to honor his memory. Please enjoy.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
