Ballad Of The Gander


from the ABC set Doodles

I'm wanting an open marriage says he
An open marriage? says I
Now what on earth would that be!
I said, trying hard not to cry.

T'would strengthen our bond says he, says he
Please tell me how? cried I
You'd know where I roam says he, says he
Yes so I would cried I

We'd always have each other says he
The others are merely sport
Could you not join a Gym says I
Please will you give it some thought

When I return home says he, says he
'Tis only to you my love
Not necessarily so says I
There's a new lodger above
