Is the Honeymoon Over

Is the honeymoon over I’ll tell you what gives me a hunch When I leave for work in the morning She hands me my luggage instead of my lunch Is the honeymoon over What’s happening doesn’t make sense When I put my arms around her It’s strictly in self defense Is the honeymoon over While my heart is put through the wringer When I come home I get no smile Instead I get the finger Is the honeymoon over I can’t understand what she feels When I said that I might leave her She started doing cartwheels Is the honeymoon over Will I find my life in a rut She said she wasn’t losing her best friend She was losing a pain in the butt Now I know the honeymoon’s over And staying together would be too hard When I tried to cut the grass I found She planted land mines in my back yard Just for fun NO!! Don’t shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Vince, this one gave me a lot of laughs! Sometimes we just know when it is over, but watching your loved one do "cartwheels" when you said you might leave! This is one of the funniest poems I've read!!!

there are some funny lines throughout this rhyme but, how often our worlds become mundane and predictable, actually very sad really. It was however, well penned. Thanks for commenting on Romantic Views, much appreciated. Stop by again.

aww this is a sad poem but how real this is for many, I could never be like that with my husband, been married a year and two days now and we have never crosssed words we both vowed we wont and never have, why ruin something beautiful which God gave us, we so happy this poem is very well written and my heart cries for all those in that situation where they get more warmth from the frezer. thanks for all your kind comments on my poetry God bless you from diane

No, Vince, your honeymoon is definitely not over. It's just that in the eyes of the wife, you had lost your world-class sex appeal, that's all. Take my advice: shape up and trim down that bulging belly of yours, I guarantee she will be on her knees begging her man to give her another chance! LOL Fred
