A Sore and Sour Slip of the Tongue

"...a hush-hush slipped out..."

A Sore and Sour Slip of the Tongue

a comedian, Bobotheka was on TV,
truly his wife was glued to the TV,
the sweet TV show was beamed live,
his funniness, his feelings came alive,
in the process a hush-hush slipped out,
for words have a way of making a shout,
a swift slap was his spouse's greeting clasp
after his TV interview in which he had a slip
about his penchant for ladies with natural hair,
the smack got him thinking of seeking an extra lair!
