Retribution

It’s the wife; we’ve not spoken for ages For a while now she’s not moved her lips But her diet it seems to be working You can tell by the size of her hips Ask, if you can, what’s upset her Was it something I did or forgot? She sits there and stares at the ceiling And she hasn’t been eating a lot See if she wants to go shopping The food I’ve been eating is junk Tell her she needs a good shower She’s beginning to smell like a skunk Find out where all my clean socks are I haven’t changed these for a while Try if you can to get answers And for gods’ sake please get her to smile Let her know that we’ve got no clean dishes And the dogs made a mess of our bed What do you mean you can’t wake her You’re not telling me that she’s dead Who’s going to cook me my dinners Who’s going to clean for me now I’m sure that she’s done this on purpose The nasty vindictive old cow
