Marriage

His proposal Darling will you marry me? I’ll love you for eternity With honour and hope all of my life, I want to make you my wife My worldly goods will be yours and I’ll cherish you forever In sickness and in health, I will leave you never. Darling this is the best honeymoon, I have ever been on. Do you know where my golf clubs are? They seem to have gone. No you can’t go shopping we cannot afford I have payments to make on my holiday abroad Darling I need a shirt for tonight’s dinner, I’m going to the golf clubs for the awards for the winner No, you don’t need a new outfit, that one you have on will do Why do you want a new one, that apron really suits you. Darling we need the money that’s why you do the dishes If I could afford to have you with me, it would grant me all my wishes. My shoes need cleaning, I need clean underwear too I don’t know why you haven’t done them you seem to have nothing to do. Darling the grass needs cutting why have you left it so long I think you should do it now, while I just listen to this song You always say you are tired but I really don’t know why, You only work twelve hours a day and that’s no reason to cry.

Sounds like the honeymoon's over. I was perfect until I said I do, then I found out how imperfect I really was. Reality!!

A good piece of satire! If I asked my wife to cut the grass she'd wrap the mower round my head...lol!

Thank you but I am not sure if my husband does know where the lawn mower lives I still wouldn't change him though. x
