At night I curl up in my bed
but not alone you see
my wife's under the covers
and she shares the bed with me
Tonight It seems that she's alseep
as I climb into bed
but as I lay and turn away
she smackes me in my head
Then as i go to kiss her
Just the same as every night
I notice she is breathing odd
I hope that she's alright
I put my arm around her
but she doesnt seem aware
she just lies there sleeping
I run fingers through her hair
Her breath though smells atrocious
As she breathes upon my neck
Like a skunk that ate a pig
Then died under the deck
Just then I remembered
that my wife is out of town
so who is this then in my bed
I have to take them down
I jumped up looked and there it was
Dresses in my wife's new blouse
and that is why we dont allow
The Monkey in the house.

Shel Silverstein is my hero. most of the "Thats when I finally realized" poems came from his style. "Kidnapped" is my favorite poem ever.
ReplyDeletehaha! that's funny. I got a little irked with the line about my breath until I remembered the "then I realized" theme of your poems...
