Judith Viorst: The Whole Truth

He always called her honey and
She always called him sweetie and
He always brought her flowers and
She always stroked his hair.
Their beautiful relationship was
What a marriage should be and
The rest of us regarded it with
Envy and despair.

She always called him lover and
He always called her baby and
She always praised his brilliance and
He always praised her wit.
No wife was more adoring and
No husband more devoted and
The rest of us were jealous I'm
Embarrassed to admit.

He always called her dearest and
She always called him darling and
He always hugged and kissed her and
She always held him tight.
They just announced they're filing for
Divorce tomorrow morning and
The news has filled the rest of us with
Absolute delight.
