He Said And She Said

He Said. For more than twenty years we lived as man and wife together And some happy moments with her I can recall But more often than not she was sour and cranky And she was quite a nagger over all. She did not want me socializing with my mates down at the Local In the evening after work for a few ales two or three And always when I'd go home she'd accost me With you put your mates before your wife and family And when she accused me of having my bit on the side I denied it What else would one expect a man to do, I could not tell her I was satisfying myself elsewhere Though she gave me the feeling that she knew? My sexual needs she had not been satisfying And our marriage it had become a sex free zone And lying side by side in bed with her for me no pleasure I may as well have been sleeping on my own. Till we slept in separate beds our love had perished And our marriage it had gone into decay And I feel happier since she did divorce me And without her I feel better off today. And with my mates I now can drink until late And when I go home she is not there to say To me again, don't tell me you've been drinking, I'm single now and single I will stay. She Said. I left him for the time was ripe to leave him Since our son and daughter nowadays work for pay And any love between us was long over And with him I could not grow old and gray. For to stay with him would not be to my advantage And by leaving one like him how could I lose? When he'd come home from the public bar each evening He smelt so strongly of the stench of booze. I knew that he was seeing another woman Our last six years together was sex free I could not make love to an alcoholic As the stench of booze a thing that sickens me. But what he did not know is that I too had a lover And him I love and we are soon to wed A kinder man by far than my ex husband And more fun to be with and better by far in bed. I wasted twenty years of my life with him Suppose I never ought to have become his wife But now I'm with a far more loving fellow And with him I will know a happier life.
