Young Jimmy Kelly had this knack Of chatting up girls and having the craic His wife found out but kept her cool Planned her revenge 'cos she's no fool. The first thing she did was stamp on his fags Then cut up his clothes until they were rags How dare he she thought the dirty old man Driving around town getting girls in his van. His favorite stew she started to prepare But added some extras' 'cos she didn't care She added some dog hairs from the bin Then cut her toenail's and put them in. With his toothbrush she cleaned the loo On the toilet seat she put some glue Scratched his CDs with a pin And down the sink she poured his gin. Jimmy came home said "what's for tea ?" "It's stew" she said "but not for me" "I'm not hungry" she said with a grin Jimmy got seated and began to tuck in. After five minutes his face turned blue Got up quick and went straight to the loo My mouth he thought tastes of feet When I've used the loo I'll clean my teeth. So if your tempted to chase some skirt Or like Jimmy to chat and flirt Think again you'll end up with nowt Cos your life will be hell when she finds out. Written 18 January 2018

Ouch.....! How the stew must have tasted in Jimmy's mouth! Great way of taking revenge. Infidelity deserves such treatment ! Enjoyed your poem, Tom.
