Kingdom of Jordon

He wouldn't listen.
"Don't you see,
I don't agree!"
he said.
She wailed and sobbed and howled,
tossing a soiled rag.
"You couldn't have put it better,"
she hissed.
She was obviously pissed.
He was a skinny man with a thin
wisp of chin hair, very Arab skin, brilliant
chocolate eyes and the nickname of
Flash Gordon.
She was a heavily built,  powerful woman
with hair on her face which ran in her family
from the Kingdom of Jordon.
"Ah! I see!"
she spat.
"I should write your address on toilet paper
and throw it away, it seems."
"Of course," he said as he re-lit a cigarette and blew
smoke in her face.
"You live in a world of dreams!"
and that much was true, as anyone who knew
her would say:
former marriages, divorces, new lovers, ball-and-chain
relationships, or sudden infatuations mixed with the
current hearsay,
but she always broke through whatever the cost.
"At least I'm not lost!"
she screamed in reply;
"And you're still here, and I can only guess why!"
