The Hot Tub

Her husband had a bad back 

His doc’s name was Dr. Jack 

He said to get a hot tub 

Relax and get laid back 

His wife found one on Ebay 

With their truck and trailer they were on their way 

They couldn’t wait to get it home 

To get in the tub and be alone 

They never had a hot tub before 

This was a new adventure and more 

He filled the tub as warm as could be 

Put in the chemicals for everyone’s safety 

He was a free spirit in his home 

So, he got in with no clothes on 

His wife was shy as could be 

What if the neighbors see me? 

She wore her swimsuit for days 

And one morning she thought of his birthday 

I’ll give him a surprise for this very day 

Nervously she took her clothes off 

The water did make her skin soft 

Thoughts of a neighbor peeking in 

Was her way of thinking it was a sin 

She was torn between her love and thoughts inside 

A real battle was making her want to die 

But her love for him won out 

She closed her eyes and walked about 

She got in the hot tub 

And to his surprise 

He loved her more and more 

For his birthday prize 

They laid back to recline 

And the real surprise came down the drive 

An employee walked on the porch 

And she ducked as if she’d been torched 

She made a dive 

Thinking she could hide 

But the employee slowly backed away 

He went back to work that day 

And when she got to work 

They joked and laughed 

They caught the boss naked at last 

So what, she said 

I love my husband 

And that tub was his birthday bed!
