The Other Woman

To see her adorned in colour ??
 You’d think she was a flower ??
I try my best to glower ??
 So that I show that I’m a queen in power ??
But alas! I just seem to sink lower ??
 
Does he love her more, I ponder ??
Will she take him away, I wonder ??
In the end, I just have to try harder ??
For in his affections I must climb the ladder. ??
 
She has eyes that ‘twinkle’ ??
And she seems to give off a ‘sparkle’ ?
Now I see why to him, she’s quite the ‘apple’ ??
Helpless rage consumes me and turns my face purple ??
 
She sashays with hips wriggling ??
As she gives off a girlish giggling ??
The reason he can’t stop ogling ??
At once I know they’ll soon be canoodling ???????????
And that, to me, is quite offending. ??
 
With steely determination I talk to his Nan ??
She assures me that he’s clearly my man ??
And Miss la di da is just the other woman. ????
