A Poem --- "A Dinosaur's Valentine's Day"



			A Dinosaur's Valentine's Day
			by Robert Baer Jr

			I've heard all my life
			When one takes a wife
			They're happiness is assured

			But I'm here to say
			It don't work that way
			For me, it was all a blurr

			My marriage was cheer
			For nine happy years
			But soon the trouble started

			My wife grabbed a man
			And off she ran
			And left me broke and brokenhearted

			Off she did run
			And left me and my son
			Twisting in the wind

			It doesn't seem right
			To suffer day and night
			When she is the one who sinned

			Now I sit alone
			And I have grown
			Used to dreading this day

			For my Valentine
			Crossed over the line
			As she blasted my heart away

			My marriage was cursed
			Not for better, but worse
			But now I have paid the price

			One still broken heart
			My son and I are apart
			And my ex-wife thinks it's all nice

			This dinosaur's learned
			When his marraige burned
			One simple fact of life

			Think once, think twice
			Think as long as you like
			Before ever taking a wife
