Poetry: Boat humor

MY HUSBAND'S NEW BOAT

It's ok that you're his other woman
And that he loves you too.
Please, just bring him home again.

Let him deny it, if he can.
I'm on to you two.
It's ok that you're his other woman.

You take him on the weekend
You make him happy, too.
Please, just bring him home again.

I'm his wife, his lover, his friend
And I'm prettier than you.
It's ok that you're his other woman.

They say, "catch as catch can"
with you, I hope it's true.
Please, just bring him home again.

Make him happy, if you can,
and give him a good haul, too.
It's ok that you're his other woman.
Please, just bring him home again.
