If I Shopped For My Spouse Like I Shop For My Automobile

If I were in the market for Another spouse, I would Check out the database of specs To make a choice that’s good. My top criterion is that I want my spouse to last. A long time he should be with me And not break down too fast. I'd make him get a physical To check for hidden leaks And broken parts, to know what's wrong If I hear that he creaks. I’d look how much he needs to eat And whether he requires A super diet. Are there foods Without which he expires? Reliability is key - I need dependable. A man who is not there for me Is just expendable. What if he breaks or ails, can he Be fixed without much pain? Will it cost me an awful lot To make him well again? How does he sound? How does he smell? How does he make me feel? This will decide the final choice Before I seal the deal. But I already have a man I picked a different way, And I’m quite happy. So this list I’ll use another day. September 13, 2016 For contest: If I shopped for my spouse like I shop for my automobile Sponsored by: Cindi Rockwell

Thanks, Andrea. Somehow I often find it easier to write on a completely ridiculous prompt like this one- possibly because there is no expectation to say something profound, it's just for fun :)
