Custody

Made the papers, our voices screaming
Children in a sandbox,
Echoes of two:
"Mine!" "No, mine!" tugging
War over the most precious possession.

Neither of us wanted the kids.
The judge said: "Who takes the dog,
Gets the kids as well."
So I hired a vet to put them down,
Confusing our kids with mutts.

The second judge called me a bitch.
And Henry got the dog anyway.
The dog didn't seem to care
Either way.
