Mum's the Word

"Let's make this our little secret"
(Said behind his study door
As he tinkered with her sundress
Till it slithered to the floor).

"Don't forget and tell your mother:
She'd be jealous," as he checked
That the webcam was in standby
And its settings were correct.

"Just do everything Sylvester
Tells his little Tweety Bird
And he'll take her to McDonalds;
But remember: mum's the word!"
