I have a wife, now male, I’ve been expecting her.

I dreamed I lived up in Uttoxeter
Near the Peaks and Pennine landscapes high
I have a wife abroad, I have just texted her

I married he

R but never yet had sex with her
For she is cold and frosty ,can’t say why.
I dreamed I lived up in Uttoxeter

She said that she was moving down to Exeter
She’d changed her gender, good grief so must I.
I have a wife abroad, I have just texted her

Since I turned a woman.I’ve detested her
She’s a man but tell me, does he lie?
I dreamed I escaped back to Uttoxeter

I got my phone and told her, so bizarre
I’m a woman, hot with sultry thighs.
I have a wife, now male, I’ve been expecting her.

I rarely tell the truth unless I lie.
In the Peaks I love the Blakean sky
I want to liven up Uttoxeter
I have a wife, I feel too stressed with her
