One Tiny Slip

She said she’d only cheated once
I told her I felt spited
I asked who it was with
And she said Manchester United

This is truly hilarious! "Manchester United," you say? All together or separately?

Never gave that much thought, Milt. Maybe they took turns to see who would score first.

Well it could’ve been much worse, imagine she had done it with Manchester City, you asked for that Terry! good luck, cheers David,

She wasn’t being entirely honest, Tom. She had included the referee and linesmen. Terry

Thanks, Deb. The essence of the gag is ancient, I do claim the exceptionally skilled poetry though ;-)
