My wife and I were playing pool, you see, our marriage had grown stale

And we agreed to have a date night to address our Marriage troubles

A young couple put their quarters on the billiard table rail

And asked if they could join us in a friendly game of doubles

And this couple was attractive, they lived together I should mention

And in no time we were all of us, engaged in harmless flirting

My wife and I seemed to come alive, like we were starving for attention

And the thrill that I got watching my wife flirt was disconcerting

Between the time that had elapsed and our perception was a slight gap

The hours passed like minutes and to our shock the bar was closing"hey! we just bought a new hot tub why don't you come back to our place for a night cap

And naively we agreed to what our young friends were proposing

Let's take a momentary pause in the telling of our tale

Do you think they should continue or stop?

Will they continue unabated or will cooler heads prevail

Are these couples really going to swap?

We followed them back to their home and once we had all inside gathered

We exchanged the typical pleasantries | and we got the typical tour

And then they led us back to their hot tub and the water was already lathered

He said"let me pour us some drinks | what is your liquor du jour

He returned and he gleefully shouted"Let's get into that hot tub and drink

I said"we didn't bring any swimming suits | perhaps you might have two to spare

And they looked at me like I was joking | and he gave me a devilish wink

He said"nobody under age 80 gets into our hot tub unless they are bare

Let's take a momentary pause in the telling of our tale

Do you think they will continue or stop

Will they continue unabated or will cooler heads prevail

Are these couples really going to swap

Now my wife and I are conservative and keenly aware of the dangers

Of drinking too much and we normally | know when we both ought to stop

But here we were on the verge of undressing| |. In front of these virtual strangers

And it was slowly becoming apparent | That this couple was eager to swap

Sometimes you commit to an action | and you feel like you have to proceed

In spite of the voices you hear in your head | that scream"fire only gets hotter

I looked at my wife and she nervously smiled | I could tell we both agreed

Both of us quickly undressed and slipped into the depths of the roiling water

Let's take a momentary pause in the telling of our tale

Do you think they will continue or stop

Will they continue down this pathway or will cooler heads prevail

Are these couples really going to swap

So the four of us were naked beneath the froth and all the bubbles

And I broke the awkward silence with what I thought a pithy toast"to think this all got started with a friendly game of doubles

And just then my wife jumped up and screamed as if she'd seen a ghost

She cried"I'm sorry we have stop now. Our marriage will not make it through this

He had tried to caress my wife's thigh which for her was a bridge too far

I apologized to this couple and said"we're just not the sort of people that do this

We gathered up our clothes, left their house and went back to our car

And now we've come to what appears to be the ending of our tale

Should they have waited for the next shoe to drop

Will their marriage show improvement or is it doomed to fail

Did they secretly desire to swap
