Perfect Pair
His lardy arse
Melts over the chair.
He sweats and drips
Greasy body hair.
It's sad to think
He was once so fit.
Muscular, tidy,
Still a bit of a prick.
He used to love her,
His clever cow,
Snobby and prim,
So much better than him.
She broke him down,
Belittled him.
Together once perfect,
Now don't fit.
Damaged each other.
It wasn't quick.
Now alone his lardy arse.

Louise - although this is seen from the female perspective and qualifies as acute observation, what about the 'male voice'? You could try a second stanza, almost in reply, from his point of view. I think it would give this piece balance, especially with the current title.
