In Love With A Model

From BaildonWiki

Written by Edith A. Robinson[1]

After fifty years of marriage
I'm ignored and cast aside
Not that I want a fuss, mind you
But the situation, I cannot hide.
My husband sits around
With a glow in his eyes
But I know it isn’t for me,
He doesn’t even notice
When I bake apple pies
Or brew a good cup of tea.
He's obsessed, bewildered, bedazzled
With a model, it's really quite true,
Counting doors and asking
"Were there three steps there or two?"
She isn't blonde or auburn haired,
She doesn't aspire tofame,
She's a model of our well loved village,
'Baildon is her name'.
