Jack and Clare (Part 2)
These nights that he told me
He had to work late
He was out having drinks
With secretary Kate!
She drove through the night
Past the old Starlight Inn
Where she noticed Jack's car
As he wallowed in sin
Stalking the rooms
Wife crept like a mouse
With secret intentions
Of shooting the louse
In room number three
She peeked through the crack
And naked as a jay
Was her old hubby Jack
Through the half parted drapes
Young Kate flitted near
While handing her Jack
A cold glass of beer
Fuming with rage
Clare kicked in the door
Screaming at Jack
To get down on the floor
Kate jumped from the bed
And landed on Clare
Punched at her stomach
And pulled at her hair
The two women scuffled
As Jack grabbed his shoes
Picked up his pants
And reached for his booze
He raced for his car
And drove off in the night
And they heard him exclaim
As he drove to the bar
One woman's enough
Two's going too far!
