I wrote this poem as after my first wife admitted to having an affair…oddly enough there was a kite stuck in the crab apple in front of our house that day…and that spawned this poem.

An Image on News of Her Infidelity

A kite in the tree
the crab apple tree
Want to get it down
the kite is stuck
and you only shrug
Say “Let the dog in”

This is your life
Charlie Brown

A Monarch in the tree
the kite is a Monarch
Stuck in the tree
In the crab apple tree
Still you only shrug
Say, “Let the dog in”

This is your life
Charlie Brown

Look at that kite
Up in the tree
This is important
The kite stuck in the tree
Again you only shrug
Say “Let the dog in”

This is your life
Charlie Brown

But Chuck is stuck
Up on a tree
He is no Monarch, no kite
in the crab apple tree
Finally you shrug
Say, “Let the dog in”

This is your life
Charlie Brown.

A kite in the tree
the crab apple tree
Want to get it done
The kite is stuck
Finally, you shrug
Say, “Let the dog in”
