A Fool's Decree

Fool me once

Shame on me

Fool me twice

To fool me into matrimony

But a fool would be a compliment

For how I see me

I thought after you were caught

You at least could of believed

in my grounds

for an apology

But that idea only found

its way into the breeze

Because it required effort

For you to concede

Any or all your deceit

And if you ever had any compunction

Well, I guess didn’t see

So, I will take the blame and

Wear the jester hat of a fool’s shame

The very same you have refused to carry

Even before we were married,

Because I was more than a fool when

I thought you could change

But admitting mistakes

is not the name of your game

Somehow when the word is remorse,

you have trouble remembering its name

Fool me once

Shame on me

Fool me twice

To fool me into a divorce’s decree
