Loser

Down in the bottoms


I found my true love today


Wrapped tight in her arms


A cheater tarred and feathered


Now our true love no longer

    Hi Carol - Definitely a cheater should be tarred and feathered. Clever way of saying without trust - there is nothing to base the relationship on. The construction of this is great - concise and cleverly to the point. - Gail
