I have to keep up this facade.

I have to run each day.

I have to look real womanly.

It’s like I’m in a play.

I have to wear an itchy wig.

I have to wear spandex.

I have to wave at all the men

Leaning from their decks.

I have to shave my hairy legs.

I have to wax my face.

I wish that I had taken off,

Instead, I took her place.

I have to run five miles a day

And make the neighbours see

This sweaty, gritty, jogging jock’s

A she and not a he.

I have to keep up this facade

Because I took her life.

And no one will suspect me while

I’m running for my wife.
