Occam’s Razor

Suspicious (iambic pentameter)

What is my only true love up to now

Whispering constantly on her smart phone

Secrets she is keeping from me and how

To where does she always go all alone

I’ve asked her good friends to no real avail

I hate this feeling deep down in my gut

She’s quickly secures and sorts all the mail

Suspicions I have hurt like a deep cut

The age old principle Occam’s razor

Doesn’t work when there is very few facts

Is she seeing a handsome new lover

I’ll confront her and see how she reacts

To my big shock and with utter surprise

She’s planning my secret birthday party

She strategized with her friends and ally’s

In my driveway sits a brand new Harley

Boy don’t I feel like a stupid dumb fool

Suspecting she might even be cheating

Secretly getting me something so cool

When I’m deserving of a good beating

For Fun
