Comments : The Fridge Door

    Maher, a personal write I feel (not sure why) it really grates on me that people snap at things that could easily be righted but sometimes people find it so much easier to pass blame on even over simple things like this (shutting an open fridge door)

    Sounds like this person you write about (you, as I say I feel it's personal) was taken for granted a lot and unfortunately, in this day and age it happens too much because people get greedy. You worked your ass of and for what? to be hit with something so petty.

    Love the imagery and story you tell. Though it made me feel (because of what the argument was about) whether it should be in the humour section lol.

    All the best, Em

      Haha you're right, it is a true story that happened between me and my ex-wife. Honestly, I have you to thank for this one because I remembered it after your poem gave me a good laugh - so thanks! :)

      I'd have put it in the funny section, but with the whole profanity thing, it wouldn't let me :p

    Haha yeah the profanity is abit of a bummer as people usually stay away from these pieces but it's good.
    Well, I'm glad I could be of help in you remembering thus writing another wonderful piece :)

    Maher,

    I thought I'd look over some of your poetry and came across this little gem. Ex-wives are funny creatures, aren't they? Although, I am lucky as I haven't had the pleasure yet! I must say though, they probably say the same (just to appease the female crowd)...
    I can relate to silly arguments though as my wife and I do have a few of those, lol. It's funny that the worst rows often appear from the most trivial of topics.

    Great stuff,

    Ben

    Maher, having a couple ex's myself I can totally relate-I laugh about it now but when you are in the middle of this it's rough as hell. Well done write, open, honest and raw. Take care-Brenda

    Maher, this is very personal and yet I enjoyed the whole thing! The rhymes are great...the story is quite sad, but it happens all the time. Small issues such as a fridge door left open, and the whole house is on fire! Well, lucky for you, you have got past it! Women say too much! haha

      Haha thank ya ma'am, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Some do say a lot, but they're not all the same. Maybe a better woman will come my way some day, God willing :)
