Wives and Lovers
copyright © 2007 by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.

"I've written a song for each of my wives," I used to joke during gigs. "Soon, I'll have enough for the album."
"How many wives have you had?" a kibitzer once shouted from the audience.
"Three, of my own," I replied, before I had a chance to think the better of it.
"Why don't you write songs for the others?" suggested the fan. "Then, you'll have enough for a boxed set."
So, I did.
