Twinkle Eye
TWINKLING EYE
With a twinkle in his eye
he nodded towards the bed.
'not tonight dear' I replied,
'I have an aching head.'
Then I kept him very busy
with chores to bring delay
hoping he'd be so tired
he'd sleep the night away.
But he took a hot shower
let cold water pass him by,
then emerged invigorated
with a twinkle in his eye.
I really had an aching head
on Panadol I had to rely
once the headache disappeared
mine was the twinkling eye.
Dressed in a silky negligee
I waited for him to reply
but he was snoring loudly
the twinkle had left his eye.
