The Second Wife

The Second Wife

Making its round in the ever pervasive What's app world...
Is a creative and amusing anecdote to raise a smile of mirth... ...

A stressed wife, harried as always from the endless house chores....
Receives a disturbing call from her husband on the way back from work....

The loving husband, wanted to give his wife a surprise......
There was a new eatery in town, so he thought a take away dinner would be nice ...

Would be a nice treat for his lovely wife, a respite from all that daily cooking....
So he called up his wife, told her he'll bring home a dinner for that evening...

Now, that new eatery in town, it has a unique name which was catchy all the same.....
The Second Wife, emblazoned big and bold over its welcoming entrance....

In his call, said the husband, I'll bring dinner tonight from The Second Wife...
Take a break, no need to cook this evening, he said to his wife...

After the husband's  surprising call about a dinner from the second wife....
The wife, she brooded and bristled at the thought of a dinner  from the 2nd wife....

The wife was sorely hurt and became increasingly  incensed....
Righteous anger in her being broiled and roiled inside...
How did her loving husband dare keep another woman on the side...

How can he be so insensitive as to spring this on her....
Hell hath no fury to rival the wrath of wife wronged like her...
In the intervening minutes waiting for her husband to reach her...

The furious woman plotted murder and planned vengeance to hurt...
When the hour approaches, she reached for her chosen weapon...
She strode ominously to the door, stood behind it, the rolling pin firmly gripped ...

Murderous rage in her heart, maximum damage in her mind....
Woe to the husband as he arrived, dinner in hand, relaxed evening in mind.... ....

The husband, he opened the door, packed dinner in his hand.....
He knew not what happened next, the poor man....
When the door opened,  it seemed the world collapsed on the man.....

The hubby, now he is laid up in hospital, all bandaged up and clueless what happened....

Hohoho...
