You’ve Gotta Remember Your Lies!
When I first met my husband he looked like a tan Greek God.
He was diving off the diving board with his tan shimmering bod.
I could hardly take my eyes off him and deep down I knew.
That someday we would marry for that’s what people in love do.
Oh, I’m jumping to conclusions but somehow I knew it was true .
I tried to direct my attention away from him, for my friend was there too.
Engrossed in our conversation, I didn’t see him come up behind.
Dumping a bathing hat of water right down my warm, tender spine.
I pretended to be annoyed but I think he saw through me.
For he asked me out that night, it was how it was to be.
From that day on until this, it’s been he and I together.
Relishing the joys of life but also the stormy weather.
When we first met he told me the reason he was so tan.
I never doubted him a minute, for he was my chosen man.
But he never realized that the conversation we had then.
Would be our biggest embarrassment & would come up again.
We sat down to dinner with his bosses and wives,
When I found out the truth from his pack of lies.
His boss made a statement about my husband being tan,
“In the middle of winter it’s unusual,” was how he began.”
At the time my husband was eating, his mouth full of peas.
So I proudly answered his boss as big as you please.
“My husband’s part Indian I pompously proclaimed!”
Jim's peas flew out & he looked at me as if I went insane.
Then as it finally dawned on him why I believed what I said,
My husband’s face began turning all shades of red.
He explained to everyone about the lie he told me years before.
Right before I went to bed and locked our bedroom door.

Ah, but the real lesson I want my children to learn is that it is impossible to remember all those lies, so they shouldn't even start with them... hee, hee...
They don't believe me...
