It Was Hidden In His Lunchbox

I wrote my hubby a little note and this is what it said
Be home early tonight, I’ll be waiting in our bed
I put it in his lunchbox and sent him on his way
Hoping he’d be home early so I would get a lay

The day passed by so quickly and I was ready for some action
Put on my favourite negligee to spice up the attraction
But hubby was nowhere to be seen and I was feeling sad
Wondered what had happened – hoped it wasn’t anything bad

Hubby came in at normal time by then I wasn’t in the mood
Didn’t you find my message I shouted I felt like being rude
Message he said what message, and then I explained
He looked at me dolefully his face was looking pained

He’d put his lunchbox in the fridge and left it there till lunch
Grabbed it out the fridge and on sandwiches he did munch
His colleague had an identical one I guess they got wrong box
Hubby said his mate was like a greyhound of the starting blocks

So much fun to read, Jan. And I loved the ending. Missed out on the desert that day. I suppose he'll be checking to make sure he has the right lunch box from now on. Really enjoyed it, my friend.... Robert.

OMG that's too funny! Reminds me when my fiancé sent me a text about kissing my toes when he got home from work and his boss came up to him saying " dude, getting a little attached to me are you?" Haha... Hope his colleague had a wife as ready as you. Adorable write sweetie!
