The Honeymoon Song

*Perry*

Everyone keeps telling that I made a mistake is marrying Shannon. They think I should go back to Leslie. But I just ignore them because I love her. And she feels the same for me. *Pause* Or so I think… You see, it’s like this. Shannon cheats on me constantly. She has had lovers by the score. More than Leslie and I had during our open marriage. I used to sleep around with many people. (Yes, I had a couple of gay experiences in my wild years.) But, when the children were born, I had to give up my wild ways and become a father. Shannon has yet to realize she is a mother. My wife is always out drinking, getting high, partying, and/or sleeping around with various men. I try to look the other way and make the marriage work. But the longer I stay the harder that becomes.

My children are little nightmares. They are the worst I have ever seen. I sometimes pretend that I have never seen them before in my life. I wonder where I went wrong. But, I know that I’m half way to blame. Shannon is the other half of the problem. She gives them things to keep them quiet about her affairs. But I am failing to see the point in that, because I already know about what she does. I think they are using blackmail a little too well.

The only thing that keeps me happy is my current job at accounting. I had taken up a new love there. I used to be into the wild rock star life with Leslie. I guess that’s what drew Shannon to me. I met my current wife in a bar. We were all at a Halloween party. Leslie went off to the bathroom and I waited for her at the bar with my drink. Then, there she was! Shannon Jasmine Davis. She was a lovely sight to be seen. She was dressed in a tight strapless green and orange dress and black high-heeled shoes. I instantly fell head over heels for her. I just had to have her. Shannon made her way over to me and sat down in Leslie’s seat at the bar. Her brown and blonde high-lighted hair even smelt sexy with the lovely scent of lavender. Right then, I just had to move before she got away.

“Hi!” I called out boldly. She turned to me in boredom. “Yes?” she asked. Shannon took a long while to look at me. Then, she smiled at me. “You bored with this setting?” she asked me in a sexy voice. I would’ve said yes to anything she asked. “Y-Yes! Yes I am!” I called aloud. The siren kept smiling at me. “Want to go somewhere else?” she asked. I nodded as I blushed. I could barely speak. Shannon smiled at me again. “Follow me,” she said in a naughty voice. And then, we walked outside to the back.

We ended up doing it near a trash bin. That was one of the best sexual moments I had ever had. From then on, I had an affair where Shannon for a solid year. We would do it virtually everywhere. This however, began to drive wedge between Leslie and I. And pretty soon, we were divorced and she moved away back to Osaka. Soon after that, Shannon and I were married. And the rest is history. *Pause* A kind a tragic and trashy history…

But, no matter what anyone says, I still love Shannon. I will do so until I die. I love my children as well. And despite what everyone believes, I am happy with my life at the moment. *Pause* Or… at least I think I am…. Christ, you know it ain’t easy/You know how hard it can be/And the way things are going/They’re gonna crucify me.
