From Bad to Worse



He remembers

When they 

Were about to

Get married

And he remembers

His soon-to-be

Mother-in-law

Sharing that

She wasn’t sure

That she’d

Be able

To attend 

The wedding

And he remembers

Learning that his

Soon-to-be

Brother-in-law

Would not

Be attending,

At that point

He knew

Quite a bit

And wasn’t surprised

By this behavior,

Things would only

Get worse

From there.
