Is this the eighth or ninth time, who can say
\nThat I have locked my keys inside my house
\nMy thoughts oft go astray
\nSince the departure of my spouse<\/p>\n
He left without a word one night
\nIt was winter time, the roads were icy
\nThe neighbours think I\u2019m not quite right
\nDo you think that stew\u2019s too spicy?<\/p>\n
He had a girlfriend, can you just imagine
\nWell, never mind, I\u2019m better off
\nShe was a singer, just a has been
\nOh my, that is a nasty cough<\/p>\n
No, officer, I don\u2019t know where he went
\nAfter all this time I don\u2019t much care
\nThis late spring thaw seems heaven sent
\nDon\u2019t mind the stain upon the stair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
