I wish I could have seen the look upon his face,
To have his freedom yanked away & indignace take it's place.
To loose control & be contolled in the twinkling of an eye,To have the tables turned around so they were him & he was I.
 
I wish I could have seen him sitting in the jail,
Looking so very forelorn like a dog who'd lost it's tail.
He had lots of time to worry & lots of time to fret,
But I bet he thought of me & what I was going to get.
 
I wish I could have been a fly upon the wall,
When it finally dawned him he had nothing left at all.
There is nothing he can do to me except stamp his feet & yell.

My ex was ordered by the court to pay his back support & although $25.00 a week ( yes that is twenty- five $$ a week for 2 children) was not much when you multiply thise weeks by fours years it adds up to a nasty little surprise. But of course he ignored the judge – not very smart for a genuis & wound up arrested. The fact that upset me was our 11 year old daughter was there to witness him being thrown across the hood of the car handcuffed & taken away in a cruiser. My the female police Officer brought her home she was hysterical she got out of the car & ran inside. Hooch my son's Pit Bull jumped out & shook. We stood & watched as my daughter's tears flew from his coat like he had been running through the rain. But, what goes around comes around and, his turning is on the horizon. :)

What a wonderful way to put your feelings \"out there\"constructively. It is sad that your daughter had to witness this but your ex did get what was coming to him by law. I love your poetry! There is some justice left in the world and this gives me hope for all women and children. Thank you! Sincerely, notsosad anymore!

Sorry to hear that ure daughter had to see that...but I am glad that he got what he deserved for ignoring the court order...it\'s weird how some of them don\'t want to pay child support but they don\'t want to get arrested for not paying it either...

He has to pay, financially to support his own flesh and blood. He is one of many dead beat dads that are finally being brought to justice and paying to feed and clothe his offspring. I think it\'s so disgusting that men can father children, then walk into the sunset leaving wife and kids behind.

Justice was served. So unfortunate that your daughter will always have that picture in her mind. However, time eases things, and as she matures, she surely knows that breaking the law calls for harsh consequences. She learned that from her dad!!

Big hugs!
