It really was quite ridiculous,

A sort of summer madness indeed.

It started with idle chatter,

But oh, how her eyes did plead.

 

He knew he was onto a good thing

And never even stopped to think,

Where in the end this would all lead

A thirsty dog never refuses a drink!

 

Before he knew it, he was in too deep.

Oh, what a mess it had all become.

He didn’t know which way to turn

When she said she was to become a mum!

 

He didn’t need this aggravation

And was the child really his own?

His children were now all grown up

And from the nest, they’d recently flown.

 

His wife, she would go quite mental.

He contemplated suicide.

His car might have been a love-boat

But he now surfed a very high tide.

 

How could it all have happened?

How could he have been so weak?

Everything in his life had been perfect,

And his career, it was at a peak.

 

It was a moment of insanity,

A very common human error.

He decided that night to tell his wife,

Though the thought of it filled him with terror.

Oh, we laughed until the cows came home

The joy we felt was beyond compare

We never thought for a moment

That next morning, he wouldn’t be there.

 

The clickety-clack of the railway track

Taking me back, taking me back.

Standing room only

I’m about to crack.

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack.

Squashed next to a girl

Exposing her breasts

Taking me back, taking me back.

To when I was a lad

And a thrust I could pack

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack.

The train is delayed

From the wife I’ll get flack

Taking me back, taking me back.

Outside it is raining

And I haven’t a mac

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack.

The will to live

Is what I lack.

Taking me back, taking me back.

I just can’t seem to get on today 

I just can’t get ahead.

I’m still sorting yesterday’s queries

And promising leads that now seem dead.

 

I just can’t raise my energy level.

My morale, It is very low

Where’s that boost of adrenaline gone?

I had it last week, I know.

 

Our monthly figures are way out,

There must be a hidden agenda!

My secretary’s gone on her holiday

And left me a ‘temp’ called Brenda

 

She doesn’t know how I operate

And she makes really lousy tea.

And she has an annoying giggle

That is really getting to me

 

The children are driving my wife mad,

They are on their school holiday.

On top of which my In-laws have come

And are here for a fortnights stay!

 

I think that I’m losing my marbles.

Roll on autumn for goodness sake.

When we all can get back to normality

After the summer break.

 

When the balance of the mind untips,

And words not meant are on our lips,

And museum archives get trotted out,

It’s that time of the month again!

We don’t grow up – we just grow wiser,

and give ourselves a break

We just move on – we learn some sense

For everybody’s sake
