Perspective #2

I was husband number one’s fifth wife.
In my defense I did not find this out
until after I was married to him.
I was wife number two
for husband number two
who incidentally, is now
married to wife number five.
Finally, I was wife number one
for husband number three.
I realized I was not
hard to get along with.
I was simply jockeying for position.
