Here is something I wrote just last week for my Writers´Group. It´s about freedom from an unhappy relationship.
***********************************************************************************
Goodbye, My Love.Hip, Hip, Hooray!
You´ve gone away!
A sudden shove
Goodbye, my love!
Hip,Hip,Hooray!
In the Parking lot
The Council forgot
The manhole cover.
Adieu, my lover!
Hip,Hip Hooray!
Just one quick glance
I took a chance.
I made a lunge
And saw you plunge
Far down the hole.
God rest your soul!
Hip,Hip Hooray!
You´ve been swept away
To some far bay.
You were a shit
And quite unfit
To be my lover!
Allelujah, manhole cover!
Hip, Hip Hooray!
O, wondrous day!
You were a swine
Now life´s divine.
Hip, Hip Hooray!
That´s what I say!!

Here´s another one on a similar theme
Dear John
Dear John, my thoughts are with you still,
Although I buggered off with Phil.
See, he was sexy, tall and rich.
Yes, I know I am a bitch.
But then, what is a girl to do?
Ditch Phil, and toddle off with Hugh.
He asked me to the South of France –
It really was a golden chance.
I stuck it out – made a few quid
Then tough for Hugh – along came Sid.
He was most common and quite loud,
But goodness me – so well endowed!
It lasted for about a week
Then HE left ME! Now there´s a cheek!
I hung about, annoyed , in Cannes
And worked quite hard to get a tan.
But being bored, I moved to Nice
And there I met blond, blue-eyed Reece.
We got on like a house on fire
Till he found out I was a liar.
I´d said he was the only one
But went out clubbing - I´m not a nun!
He made me promise to be true
But then I got a text from Hugh.
So back I went to him in Cannes
He really was a pleasant man.
But though we got along quite well
I thought of you and felt like hell.
So would you like to try again?
Or are my pleadings all in vain?
I know I´m not the best of bets –
When I´m with you, you run up debts.
But if we don´t demand a lot
And try to be things that we´re not,
Praps we can give it quite a run
And on the way have lots of fun.
Then if it doesn´t work out right
If we argue and we fight
If it all becomes a pain,
On the back burner there´s a Dane.

And here comes another one on ending a relationship but this is a bit nastier.
***********************************************************************************
The End of an Affair.Away in the past
We thought it would last
Yes, I did love you so
A long while ago.
But our love has gone dead
There´s no more to be said.
Although you protest
And won´t let it rest.
You´re in my face.
This is my space.
I want you gone
So I can go on.
Please use your wits.
Let´s just call it quits.
End friends as we started
Although we´ll be parted.
Don´t be obtuse
Don´t give me abuse
You´re being a bore
I won´t take much more.
You won´t let it lie
And swear that you´ll die.
You give me the chills
And say you´ll take pills
You think I´m not tough
But I´ve had enough.
I can be rough
I call your bluff.

Well, that one was a bit on the nasty side but, as I said before, at least it rhymes!
