Commitment

He was committed
to having his wife committed.
She was committed
to an unusual committee
that had husbands committed.
Each thought their commitment
was stronger, yet both ended
up as commit-ees.

  9. Oh, man, when I read this, Sara, I thought about all the ways I have been committed… too many! This was full of fun, and thank God it was not autobiographical, right? Great stuff, my dear, just my sort of dark humor. Peace, Amy
