Desperate Housewife

The morning paper is everywhere, the breakfast dishes, are here and there Her feet up in the easy chair, the old man in his underwear The phone starts ringing loud and clear, so hubby quickly disappears When he returns, she sees a frown,…, He calmly says, “Guess who’s in town?” “The corporate boss, not far away….I've asked them here to spend the day!” “A little lunch would be no trouble. He’s with his wife…her name is Mable” “You did what???? she screams. (The neighbors hear!) "Company?? ... You say they're near?” “Help me quick. Get off your rear!!” "Oh dear,.... oh dear, ......oh dear) !! "Get off your rear, you lazy man! And if you don't .....I SWEAR!" She frets and stews and carries on….her hubby simply mutters She runs around the messy room and stashes all the clutter She’s acting like a headless chicken, her partner in a quandary He watches as she runs around, hiding dirty laundry Oh dear, they’ll need some lunch to nibble, whatever could she fix? She finds some fruit, some crackers, cheese, a bag of party mix Running to the bedroom, she’s gasping raves and rants “You’ve got to get your shirt on!…For Pete’s sake, dear! Find your pants!” “Heaven’s, we must hurry! We’ve got to make the bed!” "Whatever you say, dear" he grumbles, and shakes his bewildered head She discards her frumpy nightgown, powders her frantic frown She quickly brushes hair, a dab of lipstick too Tosses sloppy slippers, dons her pretty shoes A knocking on the door, she pastes a cheery smile Her unexpected company has come to stay awhile! Breathing deep, she goes to greet them “So good of you to call!” “What’s that.....a bother?” “ Now don’t be silly, you aren’t bothering us at all!” She shoots a glance, a daggered lance, into her husband’s mug He has no clue, ignores what brews…a deep, dark hole he's dug For, once again, he’s lost his head…and says ….”Stay the night, it's quite all right, we have an extra bed!!” She fakes a smile, and says "OF course!!"......... (but tomorrow he’ll be DEAD!!!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
