A Spring Forewarning

Take care, fellow, that you not a cuckold be, for spring is in the air; the cuckoo sings! Woo your wife and treat her tenderly. Flirtatious whims can blossom into flings; a woman left alone might test her wings!
Note: A cuckold is someone whose wife has cheated on him. For Francine Robert's Contest: Wow Me in Five Lines

The season for budding, frolicking romance. The sights and sounds of Spring create an amorous milieu! A nice treatise on the fecund nature of Spring.

Well Andrea I learned a new word today, did not know what a cuckold, in fact never heard of the word before. then my ex- wife was a cuckold. if i ever talk with her again. i will say to her oh you cuckold, and she won't know what i am saying to her. this was a great piece you wrote.
