An Ode to the Loathed

Torres
This year, spare me the roses.
Don't by me any candy.
Never having to see you again
Would suffice - just dandy.

Meeting you has always been something
I've wished I'd never done.
Instead of giving you the time of day,
I should have turned around and run.

Your attitude is annoying.
The sound of your voice, depressing.
Having to tolerate you for any length of time,
Is something I find quite distressing.

You make me sick.
You make me ill.
The only thing I still like about you
Is how you pay my bills.

So spend your Valentine's Day alone this year.
Or find yourself a brand new honey.
The only thing I'd like from you
Is more and more of your money.

    Nope. I'm accepting compensation for pain and suffering caused by having to tolerate him for any length of time.

    Yeah. I'm not sure it would be as funny, if you didn't know the backstory. Hah!
