Can'T Repeat the Cheat

I cheated on my wife once while playing Monopoly; I paid enough to buy two houses but then I put up three. I felt so bad about what I did I confessed at the end of the day; and swore I would never do it again because I hated feeling that way. Once I was in a golf tournament and forgot to count a penalty stroke after I moved my ball a little bit to get out from behind an oak. When we tallied the score at the end of the round I disqualified myself; it wouldn’t be right having the winner’s cup displayed upon my shelf. When doing my taxes at the end of the year I didn’t have all my receipts; so I couldn’t take all my deductibles without feeling like a cheat. I guess some people can and some people can’t - I am the latter of those two. Cheating tears me all up inside; what does it do to you? Written for the Cheating Contest - but posted too late - darn!
