An Open Marriage

 On Saturday whilst Jim is playing tennis with his friend Fred

His wife Anne is at home in bed

Having you guess what with her neighbour Stan

In his late twenties a virile young man

Jim and Anne in their late sixties grandparents well past their physical prime

And physically showing the wear of time 

Though living under the one roof apart in their ways they have grown

And nowadays they do have lives of their own

That young Stan is Anne's lover Jim is aware

Though of this he does not even seem to care

With Jane a fifty years old divorcee with blond dyed hair

He is having his own love affair

Legally they live as man and wife

But any passion between them has gone out of their life

Though on speaking terms it can be said

That any strong feelings of love between them is dead

Their's is an open marriage in truth one can say

And this is not unusual in the World of today

Between Jim and Anne in their loveless marriage there is no jealousy

Of any guilt they both feel free.
