Hilarious

What could be funnier than standing in a corner,
Staring at the wall, while your spouse watches crazy.
This wife of a husband, I was like a foreigner,
To stare at a wall, like a dunce, half-baked and lazy.

But this husband was about to get a shock.
He couldn’t imagine the turnaround of thought.
This is what happens when a husband doesn’t knock.
His mind would go haywire when a situation he caught.

You see in the bedroom, I am a gypsy.
Looping ‘round, I pace about our California king.
I may have one glass of merlot, but I’m not tipsy.
In my mouth, my husband sees electric toothbrush sing.

This husband of mine, loses his mind.
Doubled over, he paces the hall, tears in his eyes.
Tremulous, quivering, rewinds
the scene over and over - what did he spy.

“I was looking at a spider web,” I explained.
“But I didn’t expect to see you brushing after.”
Oh how he was entertained!
This man of mine couldn’t contain his laughter

Yeah, that's good one! I like merlot, too. But it doesn't make me tipsy, unless... I down the whole bottle! (lol) Congrats.
