Four Limericks Re Marital Trials and Tribulations

I When a spat leaves you blue-faced and chokin' This advice may keep love's bond unbroken: Don't go angry to bed, Listen to what's being said And not merely to what's being spoken. II A man marries then struggles the rest of his life Trying to keep his home free from all worry and strife. It won't enter his head 'til long after he's dead, That he might should have wed a less extravagant wife. III A new wife was installed as the queen of her house, And for a while quite content with no reason to grouse. T'was a cruel trick of fate When she found out, too late, That her mate was a souse and a louse of a spouse. IV A husband, fed up with his wife's constant yammer, Went ballistic and bashed out her brains with a hammer. At his trial her removal Won the jury's approval, And his (suspended) sentence, six months in the slammer.
