My Marriage In Danger - Away In A Manger Parody

My marriage; in danger
No wife in my bed
She slept with two geezers
In our cattle shed

I did suspect one guy
Of making her stray
She does what she pleases
Much to my dismay 

The problem with knowing
Is she often bakes
So now I say, ”Jesus,
That means no more cakes.”

And yes it displeases
That her roaming eye
Has found a new lover… 
Like Tracy and I

I’m sat eating cheeses
For breakfast today
My cooking ain’t clever
And she’s gone away

Then sounds from the stable
I found my wife there
But she was with Tracy
And they were both bare
