Wife Beater

  Wife Beater
Picture Credits:

Peter, Peter, woman beater,
Had a wife and couldn't please her,
Treated her like someone's trash,
And with his fist, her face would smash.

She was kind and she was good,
And there was much that she withstood,
But living with this man of wrath,
Would end up in a bloody bath.

Late one day, he came home drunk,
And threw her down like she was junk,
She tried to scream and tried to run,
But in his hand he held a gun.

And with his hands around her neck,
So much to lose, so what the heck,
She fought until she had his gun,
And shot him there, and it was done.

And now she lives inside a cell,
But it is better than that 'Hell',
Where she could never find a place,
To live a life where she was safe.

So men out there, please hear my plea,
Don't be like him, for you can see,
A violent life is never good,
Please treat your wives the way you should.

I really like how you worded the ending of this poem and addressed it to men. I mean this poem goes for all in the sense that it's never okay to abuse anyone, but it is more done by men to their woman and I'm glad that you put those lines in this poem. I also really liked the idea that it goes to the Rhythm of one of our favorite nursery rhymes from when we were children; I think that adds a little bit of familiarity and easier to absorb for some.

Too bad she wasn't a black belt. She could have just put him in his place. Very good write!

Excellent poem. It flows well and gets the point across. Keep up the good work.

I was singing along to the tune and at the same time imagining this poor woman go through this hell. This is very good and very sobering.

This very good poem gave me the creeps, as it should, the sing-song quality conflicting with a gruesome reality. Nice job!

Disturbing. But it happens and it is real and awful.
08-21-2005 Anthony Lane Stahlhut    

NO, let me say that again...NO! This is not acceptable! This poem is great, the subject matter is what I'm talking about. Get a punching bag! Violence is NOT the answer to anything! Be it your spouse, brother, sister, mom, dad, friend or enemy, can't we all just get along? Good job, David. Anthony
