Infidelity.
Old Arthur he lay on his deathbed
His wife Ann Marie by his side.
It seemed like more than a lifetime.
Since he asked her to become his bride.
Old Arthur could feel death approaching
His heart was tired and weak.
“I’ve got a confession,” he whispered.
And he gathered his strength just to speak.
“You know we’ve been married a long time?”
He whispered.” And we promised never to drift?”
“ Well sometimes I felt that our love life occasionally needed a lift.”
Ann Marie then interrupted, “ Let’s not discuss this right now! “
It’s too late for dragging up history, t
too late for wherefores and how. “
Arthur wanted to tell her.
To confess how he betrayed his wife.
The best time to wipe the slate clean.
Was here at the end of his life.
“ Do you remember Mary?” He asked.
“ She lived at the end of our street,”?
“ Her husband went to the bowling club,
So each Wednesday evening we’d meet.”
“ I’m sorry “ He said, “ I deceived you.”
I told you I’d gone playing pool.”
So I thought now’s the time to confess.
That I’m sorry and I feel such a fool.”
“ I never intended to leave you.
because you are the love of mi life..”
It was just a mere lusty fling,
she ‘d never replace you as mi wife.”
“And when I got home on a Wednesday,
and you were tucked up in our bed.”
You’d leave me a note on the table,I’d open it and it read.;
“ Welcome home my dear husband, my hero and number one guy.
“ Your dinner’s int oven on a low light, your favorite,Steak and ale pie.”
“ It might taste a bit tainted,” You wrote.“ It’s been in the oven some time..
So enjoy your dinner and hurry to bed, to these loving arms of mine.”
“ You’d make the same meal every Wednesday, how could I be such a prat ?
“ Playing away each Wednesday night, I behaved like next door’s Tom Cat.! “
Ann Marie smiled at her husband, and he wiped the tear from her cheek .
“ It’s nice just to let your hair down, she said “Once or twice in a week.”
“ You see, when you went out on a Wednesday, Mary’s bloke came round to ours,”
We made our escape from our cheating spouses, just for a couple of hours.
You said that you felt like a Tom cat, and probably asked yourself why.
“ The three tins of cat food each Wednesday night, I used to put in your Pie! “
