I had a sweet wife, who loved me so much;
I know I was lucky, I guess.
The idyll was shattered one day,
In my private office last  May,
When I saw the Temptress.

Her eyes met  mine, and without another thought
It was obvious what she wanted to do on sight.
She grabbed my arm,
And with all her charm,
Said , "Make love to me tonight!"

She pressed her body close to mine,
High heels, short skirt and vest
Were all she wore
Quite clearly, I saw
As she put my hand upon her breast.

She shook her red mane, while looking at me,
And passionately said,
"This body of mine,
Curved and so fine,
Will be yours to make love to in bed!"

"I'm a married man" I said to her,
Though I saw her figure with a glance.
She replied,"Don't turn me down,
You foolish clown.
My men don't get a second chance!"

That night I made love as never before,
The best of all my life.
That passion in bed
Was to the woman I wed
My ever loving wife.

"In the time I have known Graham his poetry just seems to get
better!  The passsion of temptation here just oozes the heartfelt
desire and wanton....and how beautifully he doesn't succmb to the
Wiles of the Temptress.
