My Husband

MY HUSBAND My dearest husband The father of my children The man to whom I pledge allegiance A goddess you have treated me And I have adored you like my king We have fought wars together and victorious we were But what happened my husband, We took vows to love even when we are spring chickens You now chase over half naked girls While I am fully naked for you You've started receiving midnight calls from people you prefer to call " my mother's friend " I am a woman and I am not immune from hysteria We no longer go for a roll in the hay For you are always tired for the last three years But I have always held my horses But know my husband, still waters run deep I need a home run like any other woman And I won't play away from home my husband But for those girls, soon hot, soon cold You are a law unto yourself my husband You're now playing the field Keep putting on a brave face But I will stand firm in my place I will not say uncle The scarlet women can have you I will not scream blue murder For I have a stiff upper lip You have failed to separate the wheat from the chaff You have become a speedy lightning in breaking this family apart And our children are the sitting ducks My husband, you need to ameliorate yourself for your children and your wife
