I felt like Fred was more attached
To his car than to me.
When he pummeled
That man and his
Boss made him go
And see the damage
He had done, it did
Not act as a deterrent for Fred.
He was proud of it.
If Fred had not followed
His bosses plea,
There was a chance
He may have pressed charges.
Fred would have recieved
A hefty fine/compensation
Because it would have
Been his first offence.
It would have been
Thousands and he
Would have a record.
Money would have made
Fred think twice over
The crime itself.
He would have made
My life harder if that
Was possible if his fine
Came off each month.
But at least he would
Have learned that
Drunken brawls can
Lead to fatalities.
I scratched the kitchen
Tops when preparing
A stir fry and Fred
Slammed the living
Room cupboard
And started to shake.
So he spoke about the
Time his brothers Wife
Put a knife through
His new trainers
And Fred made out
Like it was a crime
And said she was
An evil witch.
Couples fall out,
Fact of life.
So when I broke
The remote control
For a third time
I was called a psycho
Who could not
Control her mood swings
And needed professional help.
We stopped arguing
Because I was scared of him.
