UNFAIR

Working from home provided a good life.

Husband and wife worked without strife.

Eavesdropping, the husband did.

Overheard details about spouse's employer's takeover bid.

With secret info, he purchased thousands of shares.

Never acknowledged or put on airs.

Confessing, much later, to his wife, the stories he spins

because she didn't know of her husband's sins.

Outraged, the wife divorced her mate.

Whistleblowing, she didn't expect her fate.

While he will only receive a slap on the wrist and a big payday,

the ex-wife's employer fired her that very day.
