Analysis of Your Cheating Chart 1
Your cheating chart will make you stew
as you observe the things you do
At first you were monogamous;
it all began with simple trust
One day you saw across the way
a strange attraction on display
Flirtation came innocently
with notes and jokes that were friendly
And then you felt a hungry itch;
for just "this time" the conscience ditch
No one will know, no one will tell;
your sexuality fulfill
The stolen "goods" were wondrous sweet;
in your brief "detour" you're discreet
The "best sex ever," you're in love;
your erstwhile mate must get the shove
Secret affair you won't expose;
later find out everyone knows
