Swung Swinging

A fight broke over the national radio
A spouse busted a spouse for cheating
Apparently they had been swinging
And the spouse doing the busting 
...was the one who suggested the swinging

Long story cut short
Tom was gonna keep seeing Sara
And Nancy would have to deal with it
Tom’s excuse; Nancy I didn’t put a gun to your head
You’re my wife and you slept with another man right in front of me
So you, me and Sara is how it’s now gonna be
If you don’t like it we’ll go to your parents’ 
...and tell them what you did

It was sad...
One woman happy on the other end
The other’s one happy night of carefree delight 
Turned into a tumour she’ll long have to contend with
But I think Tom was cruel to her feelings
Turning a one night swing into a regular bliss
Who gave him the licence to keep swinging on the side

When couples cheat on each other, there are dire consequences, Wiseton. The next step is usually divorce. I'm a one-man woman, so I know this must be a very painful situation for all involved. Thanks for your comment. Love, Carolyn
