Serpent in paradise

"I'll be incommunicado"
He said
"I'm off to a heavenly isle
which hasn't got wifi or mobile
so I'll be out of touch for a while."
There was no reason not to believe him
I carried on with my life
Things weren't too horrendous without him
No arguments, great emotion or strife
Then I saw the weekend paper
Could barely believe my eyes
The announcement of his marriage
and a photo of him and his wife
