(This is first-person fiction and the ex-husbands are stereotypical) <br /> <br />'I tried to make it work - <br />I always tried really hard, <br />every, every time. <br /> <br />But I guess I must have <br />tried too hard because <br />I spoiled them rotten and <br />then, of course, they were <br />rotten. <br /> <br />Most of them live downtown <br />now, and they do seem to be <br />making progress. <br /> <br />Some of them even have <br />their very own shopping-carts.'<br /><br />Nancy Ames<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ex-husbands/
