A Rattling Rhyme
I saw her in the park 'neath the streetlights dim glow
She was holding the hand of a man I don't know
She is my wife not his and I'll have none of that
But then he was broad shouldered and I've gone to fat
Well, I fussed and I fumed and I called up the gym
It will take me some work to whip the likes of him
To the weights I did go and I worked like a drone
I would teach this new stranger to leave her alone
I went down to the park ready for come what may
She said, "Honey, you remember my brother, Jay."
"When he dies it all goes just to me and to you"
I'll be rich - and a fool - but in shape - there's that, too
