The old husband wants to meet his old flame, <br />so that he could rekindle the love game, <br />not in real life, <br />but in a dream at night, <br />so before going to bed, he must look smart. <br />His hair neatly cut, <br />the teeth thoroughly brushed. <br />His hair well groomed, <br />with a spray of perfume. <br />His hair changed into black with a dye, <br />he must also wear the suit and a neck-tie. <br />His whisker well shaved, <br />he must like a gentleman well-behaved. <br />His face cleansed of grease, <br />his shirt well-ironed without a crease. <br />His shoes must be shined, <br />his pocket full of cash, not clang, clang of useless dime. <br /> <br />Excitement and anxiety make him fully awake, <br />effect of rush of adrenaline can't be braked. <br />He tosses and turns in the squeaky bed, <br />his wife sleeps zzzzzzz like floppy dead. <br />Breaking the silence of the night with a loud snore, <br />ignoring the crow of rooster as morning call, <br />well into the late morning until sleeping becomes very bore. <br />But for the old man, ' wake up early.'is the rule and law. <br />After 3 times of rooster's crow, <br />his repentance rapidly grows. <br />He gets up at the dawn, <br />with his mouth widely yawned. <br />He goes to work totally sleep-deprived, <br />rapidly in a flight and fearful fright.<br /><br />U Win Kyi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-old-husband-and-a-bold-wife-5-old-flame/
