Matrimony

sorenbarrett

Get that over there my wife said to me

But what was what and where was where? What could it be?

She looked at me with a glare, if you’d watched then you would see.

But I was around the corner on the stair and this all seems so petty

She said that obviously I didn’t care and to that she said I must agree

Even though I didn’t think it fair, it was her final decree

To argue would only me impair so I couldn't disagree

Now if this house you wish to share my wishes you’d better foresee

So now in total despair I ran and handed her the car key

Not that! I told you it was on the chair she screamed like a banshee

I only wished to tear my hair and far away to flee

Laughing she said I hope that you I didn’t scare, one thing you’re not is gutsy

    Love this take on matrimony, done with tongue in cheek. Gave me a chuckle. After 52 years of marriage it comes down to figuring out what makes your better half tick. Surprising the power you can wield with a little psychology. Guess I've spilled the beans.
