Time For A Quick One Darling Poem by John Paul Butler

I can't remember the circumstances but
We were at home and weirdly alone for once
The children all out and about elsewhere
Engaged somehow in separate activities
And so l thought that l'd seize the opportunity

Looking around just to be doubly certain
Poking at my eyes l knew it had to be real
Comprehending this exceedingly rare situation
That could be a waking dream for both of us
If the moment was right for its taking

So l coyly turned to my unsuspecting wife
And whispered ‘Time for a quick one? '
‘Always darling! ' she responded excitedly
Then into sudden and abject disappointment
When l whipped out my latest poem
