"Lovers' Spat" by hmmcghee
"My Dear, do not so think to kiss me.
You said just one hour; now it is three.
Your dinner has grown cold,
And my lips I withhold.
You are late, once again, so I see."
"Sweetie, I have a very good cause.
Traffic today was all at a pause.
I got stuck behind it,
Could not go around it,
And, Honey, that’s just the was it was."
"That’s the same excuse from yesterday,
When we made plans to go to a play,
But I was not fooled then,
Yet you try it again.
The beer on your breath gives you away."
"So, I had a few drinks with the guys.
I was cautious, and my head stayed wise.
My job is getting rough,
The days, so very tough,
And I needed a chance to unwind."
"My days are not so easy, you know.
The kids are cranky; the summer’s been slow
They fuss and fight all day
And won’t go out to play.
I have no sympathy for your woe."
"I am sorry to be late, My Sweet.
Come upstairs, and I will rub your feet.
For if you please, Husband,
I will make it up and,
Give your little man an extra treat."
