My Former Coworker's New Husband has a Mullet

They are the picture of happiness
or, I should say, pictures of happiness
all 10,000 of them on Facebook
 
Back when I used to work with her,
A weighed 270 pounds,
and then had bariatric surgery
and lost half of herself.
It took her ten years
to lose W, the husband she was always complaining about
Their mutual love for cooking
held them together longer than it should have
At the end of every workday, A would call W to discuss dinner.
Often it sounded good
But I never could quite wrap my head around corned beef tacos
 
Big divorce two years ago
A makes more money and got to keep the house
A year and a half ago she started posting pictures
so many pictures
of her and F
along with, every single night,
what they had for dinner.
Chicken heart gravy appeared disturbingly often.
 
A is so lucky she found a new partner
Why is it so easy for some...
 
Okay, I'm going to stop myself right there.
I would have rejected her new husband, F, on sight.
Dude has a mullet,
and it's not just that.
His face, his persona, his entire affect
is mullety.
 
That would have thrown up a giant mullet wall for me
 
Yes, I am ridiculous, thanks
 
 
Or am I?

Author's Note
They live across the country, so I've never met him. He's probably a great guy.
I'm really too old to have written this. Most of the men in my age group don't have enough hair for a mullet.
