Beware the Doghouse

Valentine's Day is just four months away Are you ready to show her some love For that beautiful someone sharing your life An affair that fits like a glove! You mustn't forget or ignore this occasion Most romantic time of the year To ladies, it's the supreme test of your love Mess up... it's the doghouse I fear! You'll feel her wrath for a long time to come Like winter in the month of May The calendar will say that spring has arrived But the frost won't soon go away! Just a reminder to order those flowers It's never too early to plan Or buy her chocolates, that's always good You'll wind up being DE MAN! If you mess up, don't come crying to me I warned you in plenty of time No, go somewhere else, you can't live here You've committed the ultimate crime! © Jack Ellison 2012

How can men be so sweet and change on a dime? Is loving a man too much a crime? A woman expects to live in her prince castle up on a beautiful hill Not sent to the dog house foreclosure and live through the mill. You have and interesting poem I can relate but I don't know or understand this fate. Thanks for a poem. It is a wonder how we women are a crime.

You know men never seem to get it LOL..listen to us ALL YEAR LONG, when we say we'd like [x] put it on your list and hey hide it [say with your ties..since most men don't wear them anymore and she's not in charge of cleaning them] get her 1 thing from the list of things you should have which she has mentioned in passing..say 5 months ago! And she'll think OMG he listens to me!!! and love you forever! Light & Love [the present IS the concept that YOU actually LISTEN to her!]
