My Husband

MY HUSBAND 
My dearest husband 
The father of my children 
The man to whom I pledge allegiance 
A goddess you have treated me
And I have adored you like my king
We have fought wars together and victorious we were

But what happened my husband, 
We took vows to love even when we are spring chickens 
You now chase over half naked girls
While I am fully naked for you
You've started receiving midnight calls from people you prefer to call " my mother's friend "
I am a woman and I am not immune from hysteria
We no longer go for a roll in the hay
For you are always tired for the last three years
But I have always held my horses 

But know my husband,  still waters run deep
I need a home run like any other woman
And I won't play away from home my husband 
But for those girls,  soon hot,  soon cold
You are a law unto yourself my husband 
You're now playing the field
Keep putting on a brave face

But I will stand firm in my place
I will not say uncle
The scarlet women can have you
I will not scream blue murder
For I have a stiff upper lip
You have failed to separate the wheat from the chaff
You have become a speedy lightning in breaking this family apart
And our children are the sitting ducks
My husband,  you need to ameliorate yourself for your children and your wife
