Infidelity Valentine’s Day Poetry 2023

Are you ready for another round of Infidelity Valentine’s Poetry?

Every year about this time we remember the less fortunate — the poor freaks that wound up with our exes — and immortalize them in verse.

Just like previous year’s contests, I’m looking for either a haiku or a limerick that encapsulates your cheater experience. I’ll announce the winners 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.

Extra bonus points for anyone who rhymes anything with Esther Perel. (Bad smell? Where goblins dwell? Pustules swell?)

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.)

Send submissions. TGIF!

To celebrate Valentine’s day,
You always expected a lay,
And not just from me,
So much fish in the sea,
But that’s someone new’s problem today.

There once was an intern named Lori
With the brains of a disused quarry
With morals to match
She offered my hubby her snatch
What a “pure” and “inspiring” luv story

Upon reading Ester Perel,
I learnt I had not done too well,
At accepting your freedom,
To love ’em and leave ’em,
And I that was to blame for this hell.

My so-called best friend
Shagging Fuckwit in MY bed!
Burn in hell, you bitch

When he left for another “work meeting”
I found all of the proof of his cheating
I moved out that day
Why the hell would I stay?
Now a lawyer is what he’ll be needing

As a reader of Esther Perel
He joyfully spurned “marriage hell”
His children and wife
And our nice happy life
Can’t compete with the cheap Jezebel

I could tell they were different poems….and they are wonderful !! I am not very creative today, so I appreciate this (especially the middle one…my Dday was when I found proof of his howorker affair while he was at a “work meeting” )

My first D-day discovery was while he was mowing the lawn. The second was while he was allegedly out playing poker with co-workers. It turned out to be a Meet Up group he was using to pick up more OW. Most of his time actually cheating was over long lunches and out of town meetings.

Here’s an attempt at a limerick a day late and a dollar short:

I got hearts and flowers on VD

But only when purchased by me

A fuckwit, you see, ignores and cheats — yippee,

So with him all you’ll get is VD

Dick pics too numerous to count
Hookups with CraigsList randos in the park
He was just looking for a spark
Thanks to this leverage, my settlement was a great amount

Klootzak actually had no dick pics at all. He would pose and just cover it like he was hiding something exciting. Because it’s a tiny mushroom.

And now all his selfies look like hell, too. Karma is him developing horrible rosacea all over his face at the age of 50. I feel terrible for anyone dealing with such a thing – except him. Redness and pustules – his ugly is coming out. That might hurt his dating game. Awwwwww.

For my brother:
Their mother packed up and left
And made all her babies bereft
Their dad cried with them
‘Cause she left on a whim
But they all healed their own self

For Ester fans:
There once was apologist, Perel
Who made Chumps feel like hell
And made lots of money
Sugar coating cheats with honey
And her coffers continue to swell

Pick your poison, chump:
Ugly present on purpose
Or no gift at all.

Challenge accepted! I’m home sick, so what else have I got to do? I tried to do this last year. Started, got one so-so limerick, and that was it. Didn’t think it was good enough to enter, especially late in the game. So, this time, I’ve come up w/two haikus and limericks to start. Hope they give someone a chuckle.😊 More if I think of them.

A moral compass?

She didn’t think she needed that.

Killed her family.

Loved you once fuckwit,

but the cat’s out of the bag,

I don’t need you now.

There once was a wife born in Jersey,

whose morals just weren’t that purty,

with a husband depressed,

she decided it best,

to fuck her boss, and destroy her family.

There once was an absolute war fuckwit,

who fucked her boss (quite the strumpet!),

where’s her moral compass you say?,

why, that just gets in her way,

let her husband and kids deal w/it.

FW met Humpty Dumpty at his job
Where she distinguished herself as chief office doorknob
For the price of some pizza and a couple of shots
She’d hump married old douches in parking lots

Though perhaps Humpty pilfered creeps’ marital assets
She’d be humptied and dumptied and gained squat from her antics
Alas Alice Paul’s hunger strikes weren’t an entree
For Humpty’s dong-riding Cirque de Soleil

Your new wife doesn’t have a clue
Until she finds out she got Hpv from you
You fought me in court for a house that you couldn’t even afford to rent
Getting away from you, changing my name was the best 70k I ever spent
Stepping in dog poo is so much better than being next to you.

A sad little man named Mike,
His wife’s money he sure liked!
He moped through life all night and day,
And found a trashy coworker to lay.
“I’m unhappy! You don’t meet my needs!” He exclaimed,
And for years his wife shouldered the blame,
Until one day she discovered his deceitful true ways,
So she snooped, consulted and kicked him out in a few days.
So, sad little Mike, go get a new life!
Signed, FU! Your soon-to-be Ex-Wife <3

But he tripped and fell up her passage
When asked ‘what’s the deal?’
He denied it was real
But he got a divorcing you message

I truly thought I was stuck
But now can’t believe my luck
I’m sure she is whiny
His penis is tiny
His ego the size of a truck
