You and I could
she said
and that way she had
of saying that
and o that
black silky dress
and her blonde hair
drove me to despair
and I wanted to
o yes wanted to
but I knew her hubby
would have been onto it
as he was most things
and he was not one
to let things slide
and one of us would have
been for it or maybe died
but she certainly had
that thing about her
and Johnny
she said
you and I should have met
years before
but we didn't
and so there it was
o that black silky dress
and I had to imagine
what she wore beneath
if anything at all
(once she said
she went the whole day
and to work with none at all)
look Jeannie
I said
I got to go
if your hubby
sees me here
he's going to put
one and one together
and come up
with us *******
and that is not good
she put on her
sad puppy face
and her blue eyes
****** me up
and she said
just the once huh?
us you and me?
on the sofa or in bed?
then there was a key
in the door
and we walked apart
she to the kitchen
I to the window
looking out
and her hubby came in
and said
hey Johnny
how you doing?
I've come about that job
you offered me
the other night
(he offered me a post
in his department
to keep me sweet
about some dame
he was ********
o yes
he said
sure no problem
the job's yours
where's Jeannie?
in the kitchen
getting me a coffee
I’ve just come
he smiled and winked
and sat down
and talked of something
about the post
and Jeannie came in
with a coffee
wide eyed
and pale as a ghost.
