I need no better figure just some smarter clothes before I present myself to you. I’ll put on some make up freshen my breath up and touch up my nicest hairdo. I’ll pick you up at seven for your stairway to heaven lit by faux love so true.
First I’ll take you to a party to dazzle you with my repartee and show off my groovy dancing shoes. Then after the fun and laughter we’ll go somewhere quieter where I can show you some of my favourite moves.
I have the perfect spot where I take the car a lot it has a gorgeous view. I’ll tell you all about myself with my arm around your shoulder I’ll be really smooth. And you will tell me how much you love me and how about me you are crazy and everything you want us two to do.
Then I’ll kiss you and make love to you and thereafter you will say to me you are forever mine. In the afterglow we’ll watch the sunset go, but despite the darkening hour our love will continue to shine.
And you will feed me and you’ll need me you will happily attend to me night and day. You will wait longingly and faithfully at home lonely whenever I am away.
You will have my children for me as many as I want to see and you will care for them like every true mother should. I will come home for their bedtime just in time to pat them on the head see them pyjama clad and kiss goodnight my healthy brood.
When the children have gone and we are all alone me sitting the evenings away watching TV in the living room. i will be alone in my easy chair you probably in the kitchen I’ll be wondering whether the pleasures of life have ended all too soon?
I’ll get up to go bed realising once again I haven’t heard a word you said. The bathroom light fluorescent and bright will highlight my middle aged spread. The frosted hairline in the mirror will speak of the march of old father time the relinquishment of my prime and the cost of being inactive and over fed.
I will head for the bedroom where the unlit space reeks of gloom I turn on the light to surprise. Your wardrobe is empty your bureau is cleared I can’t believe my eyes. I then see the note on our bedspread afloat wavering on its woven blue sea, It sends me a shiver as with hands aquiver I read the message you have left me.
it reads .....
I let you dazzle me and darling me as you took me for your wife. I let you bluff me and cuff me as you strangled my independent life. You hooked me and took me to do everything you wanted me to do. You dumbed me down and took me for granted too. Now I return the life you gave me I decant it back into you. This poisonous life from this poisonous wife, I hope it turns your corpulent lips and fingertips blue.
