I done got the dog-house, living room, hard sofa blues,
It happened last night during the ten o'clock news,
Connie came in and sat close down beside me,
Snuggled up close and whispered, Dear what's on TV?
I done got the dog-house, living room, hard sofa blues,
Our bed sure is soft, I really wish I was there,
My clothes in a pile on the overstuffed chair,
Ain't got me my pillow, I'm tired and I'm sore,
I ain't sure I wouldn't sleep better, if I was down on the floor,
I done got the dog-house, living room, hard sofa blues,
The living room clock, TICK TOCK, done keeps me awake,
I done got me a headache, my head just might bust,
I wish I hadn't answered, Dear, I think it might be dust,
I done got me the dog-house, living room, hard sofa blues.

I'm sorry for your state of discomfiture, but you should have known better! ~ She asked you what was on the TV and you said "dust"!!! Your wonderful sense of humour got you into trouble this time! lol

Too funny...but you have to admit..
you asked for it with that answer.
