13531, He Whistles Posted by Nowachaoticthing, Wed Feb-04-04 01:49 PM
Aight... this one is kinda thrown together half-hazardly... pardon my ham-handed dust, but I'm at work, and I keep getting interrupted and well... here ya go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On every other day, Wifey confronts him He bristles
But every Thursday evening, he whistles
Smiling softly to himself As he relives the stolen wealth Of his overtime crime His prime-time dime
Now surely, These deviously dubious, Devilishly, Delicious daily diversions Make it difficult to mend the fractured union But this break is beyond repair And it remains a welcome relief from the grief-stricken Tragic marriage that now threatens to crush his chest with a baby carriage
He begged for release Wifey stood by her lease And promised an increase in options, that snowed cyanide Accumulated guilt from threats spoken in pride Like child-separation, she’d move to divide Father from offspring, she’d slaughter all ties… Even so far as to sing of suicide Compelling him to abide
Those on the outside Judge and condemn what he hides As the selfish act of a man with a chick on the side Realize and reside in what guides on this page Caged bird cannot sing with a shattered ribcage But classic poetry aside
Every Thursday evening, he whistles
The sun rarely shines But he is brightly greeted Every Thursday morning by his willing diversion Resigned to her role in his weekly perversions
He takes his time when he kisses her bare Skin upon skin, breathing can begin Reality melts into dreams with great care He takes his time when he kisses her bare Soon he’ll return from this secret they share Declared in this darkness, society’s sin He takes his time when he kisses her bare Skin upon skin, breathing can begin
Thursday evening, he returns home Assuming his roles Quiet, unassuming, income provider Reluctant husband and devoted father He begins to whistle…
