Jack and Clare (Part 2)

These nights that he told me He had to work late He was out having drinks With secretary Kate! She drove through the night Past the old Starlight Inn Where she noticed Jack's car As he wallowed in sin Stalking the rooms Wife crept like a mouse With secret intentions Of shooting the louse In room number three She peeked through the crack And naked as a jay Was her old hubby Jack Through the half parted drapes Young Kate flitted near While handing her Jack A cold glass of beer Fuming with rage Clare kicked in the door Screaming at Jack To get down on the floor Kate jumped from the bed And landed on Clare Punched at her stomach And pulled at her hair The two women scuffled As Jack grabbed his shoes Picked up his pants And reached for his booze He raced for his car And drove off in the night And they heard him exclaim As he drove to the bar One woman's enough Two's going too far!
