Because I love her SO much, I couldn't tell her off for crying, all over my brand new Versace shirt. While I'm watching the 'News at 10'.
"You've always got a shoulder to cry on," I lied. Now she's sitting with her face buried in my expensive blue top. Because I said something to make her feel better last week.
The kettle's boiling in the kitchen, just over my right shoulder. I can't move 'cause I've got a weeping willow on my left. A humorous bulletin about a dog in a well plays out. She sobs; I ponder what I can do to stop the encore to this little soap opera.
Sunday, 9:30, after the Coronation Street omnibus, I get to say "I told you so!"
