                    Balladeer had been married to his wife for forty years.
                    When first married he had put a secret box beneath the bed.
                    "In order for our marriage to be built on trust and love.
                    You must promise never to look inside this box" he said.

                    In all the 40 years of their marital bliss and love.
                    Mrs. Deer had never touched it or peeked inside the lid.
                    Until the evening of their fortieth wedded year,
                    curiosity got her, and she just had to see what hid.

                    She looked inside the shoe box that was hid beneath the bed.
                    She found $870 dollars and three empty cans of beer.
                    That night as they got ready for the party with their friends
                    she turned to him and said "I have a question for you ‘Deer"

                    I must admit that after all our years of wedded bliss
                    I have to know why you have those things in the box beneath the bed.
                    I peeked, but I don’t understand the cans inside the box,
                    the one that you’ve been hiding since the day that we were wed.

                    At first Balladeer got flustered and blushed with disbelief
                    then calmly said to her "an explanation you deserve"
                    in the years we’ve been married every time I was unfaithful
                    I put a beer can in the box…She was stunned by what she heard.

                    She listened to the story and confession that he made
                    At first this news was shocking and it made Mrs. Deer so sad.
                    They had been married 40 years and happy most of them
                    so after just a bit of thought she guessed 3 times wasn’t bad.

                    A little while later curiosity was raised again,
                    thought about the money in the box and had to ask again.
                    ‘Deer I understand the beer cans, but what’s the money for
                    well said ‘Deer "when the box got full I had to cash them in."

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.
