There's got to be a song in here somewhere:

Stuck on the roof

It sounds like something out of a bad sitcom!

She made me an offer I couldn't refuse,
"My husband's away, you've got nothing to lose",
We went back to her place, she fixed me a drink,
"You might be more comf'y" she said with a wink,
"if you take off your clothes and lay down by my side",
So I did as she asked, when I suddenly spied,
A shelf full of trophies all stood in a line,
She laughed as she told me "No,no they're not mine"
"My husband's a wrestler, a good one at that!,
He's "Mad Bobby Baxter", the King of the mat",
I'd heard of "Mad Bobby", the things that he'd done,
My ardour was cooling "I really must run!",
but before either of us could say any more,
came the ominous sound of a key in the door,
"OH GOD! It's my husband! He's caught me again!",
It seemed that she regularly entertained men,
I rushed to the window and out my clothes went,
intending to climb through and make my descent,
Then reality hit me "Good grief! What a chump!",
I'm on the third floor, there's no way I can jump!,
So here I am, sitting, the "bold gigolo",
on a freezing cold rooftop, with nowhere to go,
Some 40 feet up, my position is clear,
it's a choice between "Mad Bob" or jumping, I fear,
As I ponder my fate in the sub-zero gail,
the night-time is shattered by loud sirens' wail,
when a thought comes upon me and forces a smile,
Is this what they mean by "A night on the tiles!"

Heehee! The whole story reminded me of Will the Weaver, where the poor guy hides in the chimney...

C-flat, that is great!

A guy I worked with once spent 2 days hiding out in an attic when the husband came home from work early with the flu. Guess the wife was able to smuggle some food up to him. At least the cops weren't called. Some people...

Thanks for the laughs.

Reminiscent of the Mudcat Landmark, Song Challenge # 1 -- a wanted man hanging from a second-story drain pipe in the wind, with nothing on. Dramatic, I tell ya!!

"Up On The roof" was a romantic 60s song. Wonder if this was the inspiration?
