Once upon a time ago, there was a woman who

Worked and fed the children and she pleased her husband, too.

And then as years went by and all the little kidlets grew

She found herself most times alone, and more intensely blue.

There was no point in being good, as far as she could see.

She'd done her best to make their home as pleasant as could be.

She'd gone by all the rules and fought the urge to pack and flee.

What was the point in staying, if there was no he and she?

For most of life she'd pushed her evil thoughts far out of mind.

Of taking lovers on the side, whoever she could find.

But evil wasn't ever just the way she was inclined,

And just because her man was scarce meant not that he was blind.

Good or evil was the choice she knew would come around.

So why not let down her hair and sneak off into the town?

Could she do the things she'd thought - not let it bring her down?

She looked around and closed the door and left without a sound.

And once in town, she felt the guilt of what she'd planned to do.

She even thought she heard her husband telling her he knew.

So back she walked, away from all that rough and evil crew.

Her goodness won the battle and her strength had seen her through.
