Surprise

Stepping quietly, she walks to the door in the dark Careful not to awake him, arouse suspicion She leaves the room and dresses in Another part of the house. She tries ever so Hard to be Quiet As a Mouse. He stirs, turns, arises and walks to the door Walking down the hallway he expected To find perhaps one of the kids Rising to watch t.v. but To his surprise he Saw her Putting On her Best. “What, what is this?” he asked of her harshly As she was startled by his presence “I am just, ermm, getting ready For work darling, go back To sleep.” So off He went Without Even a Peep. As he lay there, smiling, recalling her perfume Eyes slowly closing to the darkened room He jumped from the bed as eyes opened Quick, because of a thought that Made him quite sick. He didn’t know That she Had a Job. Uh Oh!
