Goodbye, Man of a thousand days!
It's been three years too long!
You hurt me in so many ways,
But now I must be strong!
You played me like a violin,
My heartstrings throbbing still...
Today's the day, the day I win!
And Man, it's such a thrill!
No more moaning when I come home,
Because you won't be there!
Don't give a monkey's where you roam,
'Cos I no longer care!
You've had your chance! You're outa here!
Evicted! O-U-T...
I've spelt it out to make it clear!
Today you're history!
You hurt me in so many ways,
But now I must be strong!
Goodbye, Man of a thousand days!
It's been three years too long!

The poem is based on the poem penned by
Charlotte Murray, 'Good Bye Forever'
which I found on the poemhunter.com website.
