Paper
[Original version]
Monday, I played with her clitoris
Thumbed the little bump of her bliss
Asked politely for a certain type of kiss
Tuesday, told her everything was fine
Watched her dance through the fug of red wine
Hung clothes up outside on the line
Wednesday, cut her hair with a knife
Said I would make her my wife
Not thinking it would be for life
Thursday, she wrote me a song
and sang it for a little too long
Something about love being strong
Friday, we dined at the Ritz
The swordfish gave me the shits
Now our love is in bits
Saturday, was full of remorse
On paper I wrote down divorce
Doodled a large curly-haired horse
Sunday, I met someone new
She said is that really you?
I said hello to wife number two
What started out as a daft throwaway thing is slowly changing through rewrites:

Paper
I play with her clitoris;
everything is fine
I cut her hair with a knife,
watch her dance through a fug of red wine.
I make her my wife;
she writes me a song.
We dine at the Ritz,
I mention divorce.
Decide it's been too long
since that certain type of kiss.
I meet someone new;
I doodle a horse.
