In flagrante

Exquisite moments of rapture
Were mine to capture
On a passionate night,
Moonbeams playing on the surf
With a silvery light,
Two hearts - fancy free
In uninhibited delight.
Suddenly, her husband appeared
And I shivered with fright,
So scared - I almost died,
But calmly she told him:
'He pays all our bills',
'Cover him well', said he,
'Don't let him get chills,
I'll be back when he's had his fill'.
