Robert W Service - The Decision
Work rating: Medium

Said she: `Although my husband Jim
     Is with his home content,
I never should have married him,
     We are so different.
Oh yes, I know he loves me well,
     Our children he adores;
But he`s so dull, and I rebel
     Against a life that bores.

`Of course there is another man,
     Quite pennyless is he;
And yet with hope and joy we plan
     A home beyond the sea.
Though I forfeit the name of wife
     And neighbours ostracise,
Such happiness will crown our life
     Their censure we`ll despise.

`But then what will my children think,
     Whose love is pure and true?`
Said I: `Your memory will stink
     If they should speak of you.
Your doting Jim will curse your name,
     And if you make a mess
Of life, oh do not in your shame
     Dare hope for happiness.`

Well, still with Jim she lives serene,
     And has of kiddies three.
`Oh what a fool I might have been
     To leave my home,` says she.
`Of course Jim is a priceless bore,
     But he`s so sweet to me . . .
Come darling won`t you let me pour
     Another cup of tea?`
