Has Been Wrecked

Has Been Wrecked Many a married life has been wrecked Because a poor husband was henpecked And things were then brought to a halt When wife said it was her husband's fault. For a while I found myself in or abode Heard you say I forgot to flush commode And then when I walked back to my din I had failed to put up toilet seat again. Next thing happening I should suppose Did not fold and put away my clothes Said my posture was poor and I did pout Even after I hadn't turned the lights out. I was certain and so sure without fail In box is where remained all the mail Was afraid be her I would be socked None of the doors were ever locked. Being a husband what could be worse Being hit on my head with her big purse Looks like all of her spirit I failed to lift When I forgot to buy her a Christmas gift. Does any of this sound familiar and is any of it recognizable? James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet

Oh, and before being hit with a purse it has to be well-placed or more problems may have to be faced. Ho ho. Jim Horn
