Shady Lady

I once knew a lady
Her intentions shady
One day so lovely
We sought to go for a walk
She seldom to hubby did squawk
But husband objected
She, rejected
His simple requests
She sit to think a bit
Then with her shady wit
She a plan would to me vent
Perfume she added for scent
She looked high and low
For his shoe don't you know
Near and far
To keep him from going to local bar
To visit  Nelli Star
His boot she hid in the stove so well
But oh the smell
For when he looked to venture out
His other boot he could not find about
He looked high and low
But little did he know
That shady lady hid it in the stove.
