Notes About The Poem

Keep It In the Family

In flagranti with an unknown lover 
Sprang apart from underneath the cover
How his wife she did shout
Now his secret was out - 
His hidden lover was her own mother!

I can only concur with Theresa, I recall stories in the media in the UK. I suppose each and everyone to their own, but such does appear on the 'Jeremy Kyle Show' to me it's gutter TV. Once again this evening you've made me smile, hugs, James xx
