Life Is Short

Life Is Short

By Elton Camp

Life is short says Ashley Madison
Reach out now and have some fun

Our hook-up site is totally discreet
Where the hottest ladies you meet

Check out that sexy profile 
It’ll be sure to make you smile

A little adultery will be okay
So give it a spin, right away

Joe decided to give it a try
So a membership did buy

He thought his wife shouldn’t care
With another lady, her hubby to share

It wasn’t Victorian times anymore
When sex, decent people did abhor

One day, when Joe was trying 
To be sure wife wasn’t spying

A discovery filled him with disgust
Her account utterly violated his trust

“Is nothing sacred anymore!
My wife’s nothing but a whore!”

He began to loudly curse and frown
“Ashley Madison should be shut down!”

Thanks. So many men claim rights for themselves that the feel shouldn't extend to their wives.
