Sheba and Prince Charming
Sheba was thrilled with her new tennis bracelet gift.
What a man I have! She told everyone at the party.
He was quite the man.
We saw that as he traveled from woman to woman.
He spoke to all of them except her.
He is prince charming indeed, I thought.
I wanted an engagement ring, she told us.
Maybe next time.
Next time did not happen.
Prince died of a stroke two weeks later.
His daughter called Sheba to ask her to write his obituary.
He is still married to my mother, she told her.
I was sworn to secrecy while he was still alive.
Please spell her name right.
I will text it to you.
