Grass Was High

The grass was high, as were the weeds, But on TV so were race-car speeds I watched the turns - watched the spins (My driver added to his wins!) … so … Wife cut the grass. A screen-door hinge was all a-skew Gosh-darned thing had rusted through But winnin’ down at Bowl-A-Lot Was somethin’ at which I had a shot … so … Wife fixed the hinge Went ice-fishin’ – in my NEW truck, With my pals, Ted and Buck … but Kitchen sinks’ pipes were froze … But, they’d thaw-out I supposed … so … Wife fixed the pipes Amy Beth – my wife’s sis Sure “fills-out” her bodice So she and I took a drive (Showed her how I “skin” dive!) … and … Wife said nuthin’ When I came home from work today Wife weren’t here – she’d gone away Why she’s gone – I got no clue Guess I spoiled ‘er through ‘n through Lawyer’s gonna hurt me

Guess wife had about all she could take, Jack. Pretty revealing about how clueless a husband can be. Funny but true in far too many cases. I enjoyed this one. Jack.... Robert.

Yes, Robert, some men "just don't get it" ... and pay the consequences! Thank you for your comments. Jack C
