Something New

My shrink said try something new:
Found a new recipe,
Made lamb chops barbecue,
When my husband dug in 
He said ugh, oh, pee-ee-yew!

So I bought a new nightie:
See-through lace and bejeweled,
With matching sheer pantie;
My husband shut his eyes,
Said that vision does fright me. 

So I signed up at a gym:
Rid the fridge of all treats;
Thought this will impress him;
He said you won’t commit 
And you will never be slim. 

So I found a better shrink
And a new  lawyer, too;
Signed the papers in ink;
Now I live for myself
With my husband’s chink-a-chink.
