The Infidelity Valentine’s Day Poetry Contest

Happy February, CN! It’s nearly Valentine’s Day, or as some have been known to call it “Single Awareness Day.” If you’re feeling a bit adrift with all the mylar heart balloons and syrupy sentiment out there…. consider snark!

Yes, it’s time once again for our Infidelity Valentine’s Day Contest where we remember the less fortunate — the poor sods that wound up with our exes — and immortalize them in verse.

So send me a poem! Just like previous year’s contests, I’m looking for either a haiku or a limerick that encapsulates your cheater experience.

Please no lugubrious long-form verse — keep it bitter, funny, and short. (Yes, I said bitter. As in acerbic. As in take-this-Valentine-and-shove-it.)

The winners get inscribed copies of my book (I’ll ship anywhere). I will announce the winner on Valentine’s Day.

To recap from 8th grade English, a haiku is a poem with 5-7-5 syllables.

I love you but I’m…
Christ, you are such a cliche
…not in love with you.

A limerick is a 5 line poem with a rhyme scheme of AABBA.

There once was a mistress named Kay
Who was a better liar than a lay
She had HPV
And now it’s with me
My husband’s clap conveys

Check the archives for past chump cleverness. We have some real snarky gems.

You have until Sunday, February 12 to send submissions.

Way to start the week, stabbing Cupid… Bring it, CN!

I once had a dumb wife who screwed
a dumb-ass, a dick, and a dude.
She wasn’t particular
About things testicular
She’d fuck anything that’d protrude.

I once had a wife called Claire,
Who once caught gave me the dead-eyed stare,
An affair with her boss,
She couldn’t give a toss,
And now my children I half share

My wife, good hearted thespian,
said she was suddenly a lesbian.
So she started to date,
Her co-worker/mate,
And gaslit me so machiavellian.

Who lied to the nth degree,
She wanted some cock,
Unconcerned by the stock,
It all left me feeling rather sicky.

You went out and found some new tools

And there was nothing left of me to take
Now, I’m still your #1…but just in a series of fools

I apologise in advance as I’m terrible with this sort of thing but joining in for the fun of it.

He left without much warning,
I could feel my head spinning.
Then my head went ding,
He left for a fling.
Now without him I’m winning

I was depress, means I don’t love you.
Said by the one who didn’t stay true.
Too lost, too sad, and too empty.
Our marriage no longer made you happy?
and your affair was something you’re due?

Screw you!

A man whose lies were off the scale
told all who would listen a tale
which went “woe is me,

to justify chasing new tail.

Absent of remorse,
he stuck his penis right in

Previous winner here so I’ve got the book,but just for fun…

There once was a cheater named Peter
Who juggled a harem of whores
He’s sly and he’s slick
To service his dick
Here’s hoping it’s covered in sores.

My ex was named Peter. But, I call him Dick Devious. He gave me HPV that the OW gave him. Wonder if it’s the same Peter or if they were both just being peters.
Evidently, Peters and peters get around, no?

You left for pussy
leaving me PTSD
She left you for dick

I heard your whore left
Did you threaten to kill her
like you did with me

People’s lives damaged
and she left you anyway
you’re too old for more

Wasband is sad as fuck
The whore he left me for a fuck
Has dumped his silly ass
looking for greener grass
leaving him old, gray and ugly and yuck

I heard your slut left you alone
to cry all alone with your bone
Good news is you’re older
You look shit I told ya
“Died single” will grace your gravestone

X was seen online
Not my problem now
Cheaters never stop

P.S.backstory: my good friend is on Bumble. Yesterday a pic of XH popped into her feed. His pic was from when we were together (5+ years and 80 lbs ago) before he lost his health and vitality. He’s in a “committed” relationship and living with the young gold digging whore he left our family for. Karma’s a bitch! Baahaaahaaa ????????????????????????.

P.S.A. If you are on Bumble in the PNW and see a average-looking blonde haired 51 year old wide smiling attorney holding a cup of coffee take a hard PASS!

My cheater freak was on dating apps.
His profile made me laugh. I don’t know who he was describing but it wasn’t him. He’s so full of shit, said he enjoys going to concerts. I lived with him for 25 years, we never went to a concert. He never mentioned going to a concert and if I suggested going he’d list all the reasons why we shouldn’t go.., there would be a lot of people, we have to drive home, there might be traffic.. He didn’t like leaving the house. He also said he loves Sunday drives and weekend getaways, visiting out of the way towns. . He hated driving anywhere. The two or three weekend trips we went on in 25 years, he was miserable, refused to stop the car so we could use the restroom.
Then there were his photos, wearing muscle shirts, flexing his biceps, face to the side, trying to look like he didn’t know the photo was being taken. I laughed out loud at he comments he made next to each one. I was almost embarrassed for him.
