AN EMMA DILEMMA


from the ABC set THE HUMAN CONDITION

I have a dilemma
Her first name is Emma
We meet up at least twice a week
The arrangement is nice
Though it comes at a price
If my wife ever knew she would freak

Jane thinks I'm working,
Selfless and unshirking
When I'm late at the office each night;
The truth is I'm cheating
It's Emma I'm meeting
I know in my heart its not right.

But I've got the hots
My loins call the shots
My heart, like my head, I exclude;
The lies come too easy
Though I felt kinda of queasy
When I let slip Em's rear is tatooed.

'She must have told me'
I answered boldly
When Jane asked me just how I knew;
She seemed to believe me
I fear she would leave me
If she knew in my life there were two.

I hate all the lying
The whole thing is trying
Yet I don't want this to end;
With Emma it's great
It's there on a plate
But on my wife I depend.

I have a dilemma
Her first name is Emma
As a man I'm dishonest and weak;
The arrangement is nice
But I fear for the price
If my wife ever knew I would freak.

Do you know the Frank Zappa song - 'I've got a big dilemma about my big leg Emma' ?

I have to say I don't, to avoid confusion (I am often mistaken for Mr Zappa) perhaps the object of the poem's affection should change her name to Gemma; what do you think?

more a case of lust than love?

But I've got the hots
My loins call the shots
My heart, like my head, I exclude;
The lies come too easy

good stuff!
