PASSION SPENT


from the ABC set MARITAL MATTERS

After over twenty five years together
Through both foul and sunny weather
Sex doesn't seem the same anymore
The flame has gone out that's for sure

Love making used to be spontaneous
Now we have to achieve a concensus
And the earth doesn't move anymore
Even moving the headboard's a chore

Then we were young eager and supple
Now we are a more sedentary couple
Then we spent most of our time in bed
Now we have a nice cup of tea instead
