The Morning After

One drink too many

I woke up feeling dreadful 
after a night out on the town
and did my best to smile 
but could only frown

The lady laying next to me 
said "who the hell are you"
which shows how rough I looked that morn
as it was my love so true

She berated me with words so harsh
for getting in that state
asking when I'd got home 
she knew it must be late

But for all the questions put to me
for answers I had none
no idea where I'd been
or of what I'd done

Picking up the phone and dialling
my wife did ring my pal 
The Spanish Inquisition 
they had nothing on this gal

He got asked a thousand questions
at the speed of light
and as luck would have it
he got them mostly right

As the conversation finished
and she put down the phone
my darling wife looked at me
and said in a sweet tone

Apparently you behaved yourself 
even while off your head
telling all and sundry 
of the lovely girl you'd wed

About how much you were missing me 
while being out alone
and what you were going to do to me 
when you got back home

You told them all you loved me 
and that you'd married well
in fact anyone that listened 
you did gladly tell

So with a smile she kissed me
while whispering in my ear
she said "I love you too my darling" 
as she shed a tear

And that is why I'm happy 
and content as I can be
'cause the girl I love and treasure 
is also loving me

Author's Note

This is total fiction, there is no way that I would ever get in such a drunken state. :)

quite funny. the same sort of humour as with your prose. well done, Sir.
as for your above-statement, in my experience, whenever someone makes such vehement statement, I tend to become quite dubious :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

but it is quite a nice fantasy...to love and be loved like this...no matter what state we are in .....

fun but with a message.
