134. The Ring

Did the ring on your finger
Ever make you think
That your spouse might object
If we stopped and had a drink

Did the ring on your finger
Give you pause to review
Your life before I arrived
And laid my eyes on you

Did the ring on your finger
Cause you just some distress
When I first kissed your lips
And diverted you from marital bliss

Did the ring on your finger
Remind you of better days
When excitement did prevail
And never thoughts of errant ways

Did the ring on your finger
Awaken your lust for pleasure
When I entered your sacred place
And gave you something more valuable than treasure

Did the ring on your finger
Finally remind you of your spouse
When you realized how lucky you were
And returned back to your house
