My
wife
always thinks
of the other guy
I have
mixed feelings
I think of him
but in a different light
the other guy is
the one who always
gets into trouble
everything bad
that happens
is always his fault
I don't know how
he can be everywhere
at all times
but he is
he's behind everything
we learn about him
from an early age
when our moms threatened
we always said it was
the other guy
when we got caught
in anything at all
we threw his name out there
he had a bad reputation
I did not know the other guy
personally
so I don't know
if he was just dumb
or accident prone
or what
but
I still use his name
to this very day.
