Ladies, I'M In a Quandary

LADIES, I'm IN A QUANDARY

Ladies, my Hubby once a year,
joins his cronies on the quay. 
Down on the river watching
the … “unloading” at dawn.

Ladies, he gave me a quaint perfume,
expects to smell its scent on me, 
and my platinum colored hair,
I hate scent … but it really turns him on.

Ladies, I’m in a real QUANDARY,
Biblically speaking, his Quiver is full,
lots of ammo doesn’t shoot blanks,
pray not … inseminates me.

Ladies this is what I may have to do,
I may poise myself to do penance.
Because I’ll fake a headache when he returns,
Ladies gotta prevent … unwanted pregnancy.
