Failed marriage

In my village in the Algarve, I met a retired
Captain in the US Army, he had a military walk
and tended to dress like he was on a safari 
He had a house in Florida with crocodiles
on the lawn, he never said what he did when
in the army. perhaps the catering corps 
on his travel to see Europe, he had in Portugal
met a plump middle-aged woman and decided
to stay for a while, and since few spoke English
I was his audience.
One can say it was a perfect match for her dream
was to go to America, she guarded him as a prize
ticket falling in her lap after years spent in work
in various offices
Eventually, they went to Florida, and big was 
my surprise to see her back two years later
it turned out he had one more wife who lived 
in New York, she was not pleased when coming
to visit him, found a woman there
Nevertheless, his Portuguese girlfriend cooked
and cleaned for both of them until he died 
So I married her
